HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE - Kompalita

“If stallions can have foals, fishes can grow at the top of a peak.”
said the peasant.
Mr. Procurator was staying astonished as a peony. He immediately
asked the peasant to come, he took him aside and said:
“The foal is yours but you must tell me who gave you the advice.”
The peasant was denying everything but at the end he finally told
Mr. Procurator the truth.
In the evening Mr. Procurator came home, not noticing his wife
at all, walking from one room to another and didn’t answer any of
her questions. Mrs. Procurator immediately started thinking what
could have happened to him and which bee he has in his bonnet.
Nevertheless, she was waiting patiently and thinking how this all will
end.
A long time the husband stayed in fron of her with a frown face and
told her: „Do you know what I have ordered you before the wedding?“
„Yes, I know it.“
„So,why did you advise the farmer?“
„Because I can‘t stand an injustice. The poor farmer was swindled.“
„Whether he was swindled or not, it wasn't your bussiness. Now
you return, whence you came. Nevertheless, not to say that I dealt
unfair with you, I allow you to take with you one thing from here, that
you like the most.“
„Thank you my dear husband for your goodness and when it can't
be in a different way, then I will obey you. Allow me one last time
to have dinner with you, and as happily as if nothing had happened
between us.”
