The Man And His Wife
Aesop Fable: The Man And His Wife
A man had a Wife who made herself hated by all the members
of his household. Wishing to find out if she had the
same effect on the persons in her father’s house, he made
some excuse to send her home on a visit to her father.
After a short time she returned, and when he inquired
how she had got on and how the servants had treated her,
she replied, "The herdsmen and shepherds cast on me looks
of aversion."
He said, "O Wife, if you were disliked by those who go
out early in the morning with their flocks and return late
in the evening, what must have been felt towards you by
those with whom you passed the whole day!"
Straws show how the wind blows.
