1. In the 5th tale of the 2nd day were here a story about a man named Andreuccio. Andreuccio starts out a somewhat naive man. He comes to Naples with the intention of buying a horse. However he is careless and is subsequently drawn into a series of adventures. He at first believed everything and soon the world made him cynical. However he also learned to accept personal responsibility and adapted to life in the city. He managed to get himself out of the particular situations he found himself in and for his competence he is ultimately rewarded, with a ruby. This story communicates to necessity to evolve, to change and to adapt. Throughout the story Andreuccio learns more about himself and those around him and when he treats situations properly and acts accordingly he is rewarded. The same is generally true for life, in a broad sense.
2. The 6th tale of the second day is rather interesting as well. The tale centers around a woman and loss. It deals with topics generally dealth with throughout literature. A woman has sons and is at first seems to be somewhat fortunate however due to events that could not be controlled she he relieved of these sons and they go on to find tragedy and eventually happiness.
