"But one can make the soup without it, maybe I should not think about this," said the hobo. Then I remembered the old man that he may have some of the barley, and milk, the cows I remembered that one of the favorites, had just been born, and then I went to attend the barley and milk.

Re hobo, saying: "Well, it is not difficult at all, as long as you have good things to Tadhauwenha," said the hobo, and he traveled in his way.
The old woman stood staring at the door when he is drifting away, and I thought: "Such people do not find them everywhere."
2. Men and women who exchange roles
It tells us that in ancient times, lived an old man, an old man like any other. This man was working in the woods and cut wood, and the burning of wood for charcoal making, while his wife remains at home, spin, cook and take care of the affairs of the house. In this way, they pass Oiamanma days after the other. But the old man was often complain that it works and toil to appoint himself and his wife, while his wife remains at home, make pudding, eat and enjoy their time. Although his wife had told him that there are a lot of work in the home, the old man would not be able to eat or wear well if she did not look after the house, not the old man did not listen to it, he was convinced that he alone carries on his shoulders all the responsibility and the burden.

In one day, long Jaddalhma than usual, the woman said to her husband: "Well, it will be on your way, tomorrow will exchange our work, I'll go to the forest and cut trees for the stove, and you will remain in the house for my duties are disturbing. It seems that this proposal might fit the old man completely, he said to his wife: I will be working very well at home, but how you Stnasrvin in the woods, that's another story!
In the early morning, the woman says to her husband: "Do not forget to make bread, milk and fought for the manufacture of butter, and pay attention to the cows, and cooked vegetables for dinner. Think of the man: These are all simple things! Thus, women took an ax and her husband went to the forest, while the man started to ignite the fire in the oven and making the dough, and when the man thought that the dough is ready, he began to bread. In fact, it is difficult to predict what kind of bread that Sisnah old friend, he forgot to put yeast in the dough, and did not clean the oven of ash before placing the loaves in it.
I think men do that will improve the process of bread, and the idea of fresh bread awakened his appetite. The man said to himself: The fresh bread is a good thing actually, but he is better with bacon. So he went to the room of firepower to bring the last piece of bacon, and because the meat was salted, old friend, thought it would be nice to drink something with him. So, put the meat man on the first basement levels, and got to attend something to drink.
When the plug was coming out barrels of beer, a dog came suddenly and the kidnapping of a piece of bacon. Did not want the old man is certainly to lose a piece of meat, so I climbed to the top and the right dog, and while he was attached to the dog discovered that he still holds his hand stopper barrel of beer with him, so he gave up to catch up with the dog and returned to the house to be able to save some of the beer remaining.
But it was too late to save anything, it was the drum has been completed and all the spilled beer from him, which infuriated the man, and what is attributed to

His wife may not be better than in the forest. At least, even with no bacon or beer, it is still there, fresh bread to eat, and with the presence of bread, full of life! This is what he says goes!.
But his sense of comfort faded when he entered the hut and found that the bread may become burned to charcoal, were not there, nor is a small piece of burnt-out, this has been so bad!
Lol and man, the thought of saying, if I left the women in the house! If I am not the best work at home, what do you do are in the forest, I wonder? Perhaps it is now cut off her hands and legs!
In any case, there was not much time to think about, because the sun was in the middle of the sky, and it was to cook vegetables for dinner. In order to cook the vegetables one has to have something green, but he did not find any green thing in the house, he took his green jacket, and cut into small pieces, and then put them in the pot.
But he realized that he could not cook vegetables without water, Valenba was very far with him, and remember also that it gave the milk to extract butter from it, how it can manage all these things together?
Man thought: if you put a bowl of milk on my back, and I run towards the spring, it will be the milk has turned into butter at a time back into the habit to go back to the house, and this is what he did, but with it hastens forgot to put the lid on the pot of milk, and while he is stooping to collect water in the bucket, spilled butter on his shoulder and his head and landed in the water of the spring. The man returned to his home and with a mixture of water Bakhdp!
Now had to go out to the cow, since it is difficult for him to be outside and inside the house together, did not know what is really work! The man looked to the roof of the hut, he saw green grass glitters in the light of the sun, have seemed to him that the grass
World Folklore
Comeray green above the cottage, so the rope connecting the neck of the cow and submit them to the ceiling while the other linked by rope near the chimney.
The man felt he is better off, and he came back into the hut, and grabbed the rope tied to the cow and tied up in the waist so as not to evade the cow from him, and began blowing the fire under a pot, and while he was busy blowing on the fire, a cow falls from the surface and drag rope inlay through the chimney !
At that very moment, a woman has returned to the house, and a bundle of large wood on her back, she saw a cow hanging next to a wall of the hut, ran all able to speed and cut the rope, and when I entered the hut, and found the man lying on the ground, covered in ash, burned and suffocated.
Fleihfezna God! I wondered woman and said: "Is this how you manage the house?
That man could not say a word, only, it was issued sighs and groaning. It was not long until I discovered women how her husband manages the affairs of the house, I've lost bacon, and ran out of beer, and burnt bread until the shift to coal, the cream in the spring, has been cut off sweater into small pieces in a pot, the cow was outstanding, bruises, burns covering her husband .
We can guess what happened after that, the women were able to take care of the affairs of her home in peace and quiet while the men continued to go to the forest, and did not hear one then complain about the heavy drive.
