In one village there lived a woman who loved to show off more than anything else. One day her husband gave her a gold ring. The woman walked around the entire village, looking into every house to show off her new clothes, and finally went to the abbot of the monastery.
“Reverend teacher,” the woman turned to him, putting forward her hand, on which a ring glittered, “what day is it today?”
“Wednesday, Wednesday,” answered the abbot, opening his mouth wide so that the new gold tooth could be better seen.
