Every day the husband worked in the field, and the wife managed the house.
Her husband often told her:
- I work in the field all day, and what are you doing? You're not doing anything! You sit at home all day!
“Okay,” she said one day. - You stay at home, and I’ll go to the field.
And so they did. The wife went to work in the field, and the husband stayed at home to manage. The wife came home for lunch and saw: the goat was eating cabbage, all the chickens were in the garden, the cow was mooing hungry, the cat had spilled the milk, the stove was cold and there was no lunch.
The wife went to look for her husband. And he stood near the well, dropped the bucket into the well and could not get it out. The wife looked and said:
- Nothing to say, he was in control! It's good that he himself remained alive!
