This is an easy-to-read retelling in modern English of THE JESTS OF GEORGE PEELE by an anonymous author. M. Peele was the Elizabethan playwright who wrote these plays:
THE ARRAIGNMENT OF PARIS
THE BATTLE OF ALCAZAR
DAVID AND BATHSHEBA
EDWARD I
THE OLD WIVES' TALE
He also may have co-written TITUS ANDRONICUS with William Shakespeare.
In Elizabethan England, a "jest" is a notable deed.
Most of the jests depict M. Peele as dissolute; however, one jest — helping an impoverished friend to get supper — may be considered a good deed.
