Story
“Once upon a time a man in this district had two daughters. These two daughters were very lazy.”
Once upon a time a man in this district had two daughters. These two daughters were very lazy. Every morning he told them to get up and make him his breakfast. They would say one to another, "Rise you". The other would say "No, I will not", Rise you". One night he got a pail of water, and next morning he got up and made his breakfast, and he went down and threw the pail of water on them.
When he came back from his work in the evening the two were away.
