On a summer night, all the family members were sleeping in the garden on the roof of the house. The mother saw that her daughter-in-law, whom she was forced to endure against her will, and her son were sleeping, clinging closely to each other. It was beyond her strength to watch this. She woke up the sleeping people and shouted:
“How is it possible to huddle so closely together in such heat?” It's bad for your health.
In another corner of the garden, her daughter was sleeping with her beloved son-in-law. They lay at least one step apart. The mother carefully woke them both up and whispered:
- My dears, why do you lie apart in such cold weather instead of warming each other?
The daughter-in-law heard these words. She stood up and said loudly, like a prayer:
- How omnipotent is God! There is one garden on the roof, and what a different climate it has.
