A merchant named Antonio lived in the city of Venice Italy. Antonio was a very rich man who owned many ships. He traded with foreign countries. Antonio was loved by everyone, because he was very kind and was always ready to help. He also had lots of friends. One of his friends was a young noble man who was called Barsanio. Though Barsanio was noble he was poor. One day Barsanio visited Antonio and told him that he loved a rich noble young lady named Posha. And that many rich young men were proposing to her. So he asked Antonio to lend 3000 deckers to marry her. “I will help you with pleasure, but I have no money just now. All my ships are at sea, I will borrow some for you from Sherlock until my ships come back ”.
Sherlock was a well-known money lender in Venice, he was very rich but a miser. He loved making money, but hated to spend it. He lent money to merchant if you needed money and asked them to pay back more than they have borrowed. So the merchant of Venice did not like Sherlock. Antonio however was kind and always lend money to anyone without making any profit. Sherlock was displeased of Antonio’s way of lending money without interest. And so Sherlock wished to have a chance to harm him. Antonio went to Sherlock with Barsanio to borrow the money, “As you know, my ships are all at sea, please lend the money to my great friend Barsanio, I will pay back to you as soon as my ships come back. If I can’t pay you back within 3 months, you can punish me for it” said Antonio to Sherlock.
