An old woman from the village of Kholmöly sewed a thick blanket for her husband, only the blanket turned out to be short, and in the morning the old man complained that his feet were cold all night.
“What a problem, I’ll fix it now,” the old woman perked up.
She cut off the top part of the blanket and sewed it on the bottom. Then she turned the blanket over in her hands, thought about it, and removed another piece with scissors - and sewed it along the bottom of the blanket. And she calls her husband:
- Now, old man, you will be warm, your feet will not freeze. I lengthened the blanket and sewed two large pieces at the bottom.
The old man did not answer. What can you say if the blanket was extended twice? His feet, however, were still freezing.
