This 14th century story in the Italian city of Certaldo was written by Giovanni Boccaccio as part of the Decamaron,  a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city.  This story is about Brother Onion, who is a short, redhead, and happy preacher, and whose friends are unhappy with his false prophecies.
