One fine day, Tyndale’s wife sent her to the market to buy sour milk and sour cream. Tyndale went to go, but did not take the jug with him. He reached the market, and there - pour milk and sour cream into at least a handful. Without thinking twice, Tyndale took his hat off his head and said to himself:
- That's what I'll buy it for.
Approaching a woman who was selling milk, he asked her:
- Lei, woman, milk in the hat.
She poured out the curdled milk and received the money.
- Now there’s another problem. How much should I buy sour cream? - Tyndale thought and thought and decided:
- Let me turn my hat over to the left side. Relieved that he had found a way out of the situation, he turned his hat inside out and did not notice that the milk had spilled out. I bought sour cream and - top, top, top... - set off on the way back.
His wife was already waiting for him and, seeing that he only bought sour cream, asks:
- Where is the milk, Tyndale?
- Yes, here it is! - Tyndale said and began to turn the hat now to the right side. Sour cream - wow! - straight to the ground. So Tyndale brought his purchases to the house - so that he would be empty!
