(36)The Father and
His Two Daughter
A man had two daughters.One
daughter married a gardener ,and the other married a tile-maker . After a time he went to the daughter who had married the gardener, and asked her how she was and how things went with her . She said,“All things are smooth with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered.” Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tile-maker, and asked her how she got along . She replied, “I want for nothing , and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried.”Her father said to her,"If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'
