The first one married a woman from Minneapolis,
and said to her:
“When I get back from work, I want the house to
be clean and tidy.”
He didn’t see any changes on the first day,
but on the second day the house was clean and tidy.
The second brother married a woman from Dallas, and
said to her:
“When I get back from work, I want the house to be
clean, the laundry done, and have food ready on the
table.”
On the first day he didn’t see any changes, and not
on the second day either, but on the third day it was
as he had asked.
The third brother married a woman from Detroit,
and said to her:
“When I get back from work, I want the house to
be clean, the laundry done, and have food ready
on the table.”
On the first day he didn’t see anything, and not
on the second or third day either.
On the fourth day he could see a little bit with
his left eye, and had just enough mobility in his
right hand to make himself a sandwich.
