    One day a poor scholar came in to a rich farmer's wife. He said that if he got his dinner he would give her an advice that would last her for ever. So the farmer's wife got the dinner for the poor scholar. When he had the dinner eaten she asked him for the advice. The poor scholar told her always to knot the end of thread, and that she would never miss a stitch.
