Latin 1 Translation thanks?

1. duo fures olim ad villam contendebant.

Once upon a time, two thieves were making their way towards a country house.

2. "pecuniam video," inquit fur. fures cubiculum intraverunt, ubi pecunia erat, et pecuniam intente spectaverunt.

"I see money," said one thief. The thieves entered the sleeping-chamber, where there was money, and they looked eagerly at the money.

3. sed eheu! ingens serpens in pecunia erat.

But, alas! There was a huge snake in among the money.

4. fures serpentem timebant et e villa celeriter festinaverunt.

The thieves were afraid of the snake and immediately hurried out of the country house.

5. in villa avarus ridebat et serpentem laudabat.

Inside the country house, a miser was laughing and praising the snake.

The last one where's the subject for the verb ridet?

The subject is "avarus" (miser).

Done with a basic knowledge of Latin.

Once, Two thieves were contending towards the town.

"I see money," said the thief. The thieves entered the room; there was the money, and they earnestly looked (at) the money.

But alas! a huge serpent was on the money.

The thieves feared the serpent and swiftly hastened out of the town.

In the town the *covetous one laughed and was praising the serpent.

* I think in the last sentence the adj "avarus" is being used as a noun (like "barbarus" can be the noun a barbarian, or the adj barbarian).

Sooo I trabslated it as "the covetous one (not sure who that is...the devil maybe? or some character in whatever story this is).

I was asking myself about this as well
