it is good story my mother used to tell my brothers and me for getting married and finding woman. See if you like, and please tell me if American has equal:
A MAN AND HIS WIFE:
There once was a man who had wife who no listen. In very much every way, she was pretty more than his first wife. Because she was so pretty, he no hit or discipline her. So she get more and more disobedient.
One day, he come home from herding goat, and find wife reading! BOOK! And no dinner? He say to wife "WIFE, Why you read, and no make me dinner? Why is house so dirty? First wife can't do everything, she is getting old, nearly 30, why you no help?"
Second wife say "Husband, I no clean and no cook. I read, and teach! I want to read the book Of God too!"
So, the Man say ``Ok, read this book, but then, make dinner and help first wife clean"
And he no hit or discipline her.
More time passes, the Man comes home and find wife no cook and no clean. She is reading now, no book of God, but other book. He say "Wife, why you no cook and no clean? Why you expect me to bring home food, and keep you warm and dry, and yet you no do anything?"
Wife say to man "Husband, I read so I talk to you better. We can talk about life, and world and knowledge". Man knows woman can no fit big thoughts in her little head, but because she was so pretty, he no hit and no discipline her. He say "Woman, fine, but then you help wife number one, who is old and ugly, nearly 30, cook and clean."
More time pass. He come home and find wife lazy and fat. She now is no help cook and clean, and read all day long, everything. He say to wife "wife, you are lazy and fat. Where is my pretty wife?"
She say "I don't need you, now I am smart and pretty and I can do anything, I no need cook and clean you have first wife for that."
The man had too much. So he took his belt finally and properly strapped her, laying into her pretty face. When she heal, many months later, she found she could no longer read the books well. And her face was no longer much pretty than first wife.
What should I do now, say the young wife to herself? I no pretty, I no read, what may I do what myself?
First wife come along and say, "come second wife, help me make dinner, and clean for our Husband who provides us with a dry home, and many goats and food."
So second wife did. And when the Man came home, he had food and clean house. And thought to himself, it is much better to have a full stomach and a clean house, than a pretty wife who doesn't obey.
