Answer:
There was once a worthy man, Bassanio,who loved a beauty named portia.Bassanio wanted to marry her but was broke at that rime so he aaked his beat friend for a loan.The friend was Antonio. Since Antonio's ship were at sea ,he also did not have enough money so he asked bassanio to take a loan from somebody else by taking Antonio's name and antonio himself will repay it. Finally a jewish man gave them a loan on a condition that id the loan would not be paid wirhin a given time span the merchant would cut 1 pound of flesh drom Antonio's body.They agreed.Portia ,on the other side,was mocking at her suitors along wirh a maid Nerissa.Bassanio when went to marry portia he fulfilled her dead father's will that only the one who chooses one casket among-gold,silver and lead that contains portia's picture shall marry her. Here Antonio's ships sink and the merchant wants the deal be done.Bassanio reaches there and without his knowledge Portia and nerissa who were disguised as lawyers follow him.Portia saves antonio by saying that since the jewish said that he wants one pound of flesh so not evena single drop of blood should flow otherwise he will be punished. That was impossible and so antonio was saved.Meanwhile he got to know that one of his ships has reached the shore. So he repays the loan.
