One husband had a wife, but she was so perky that she told him everything in defiance. It happened that he would say: “Shaved,” and she would certainly shout: “Cut!” They fought every day! My husband was tired of his wife, so he began to think about how to get rid of her.
Once they go to the river, and instead of a bridge there is a crossbar on the dam.
“Wait,” he thinks, “now I’ll harass her.”
As she began to cross the rung, he said:
- Look, wife, don’t shake, otherwise you’ll drown!
- So I’ll do it on purpose! She shook and shook and ended up falling into the water! He felt sorry for his wife; So he got into the water, began to look for her, and walked through the water uphill, up, against the current.
-What are you looking for here? - passing men tell him.
- But my wife drowned, she fell from that crossbar!
- Fool, fool! You would be walking down the river, not up the mountain; She's gone now, by the way.
- Eh, brothers, be silent! She did everything in defiance, and now she must have gone against the grain.
