Choosing a BrideOnce upon a time, there was a man who wanted to have a wife. He had to select one girl among three sisters. All of them were so beautiful. He invited them all to eat their noon meal with him at an inn. He got an idea to test those three sister to choose the most industrious and efficient girl. He tested them on how they ate the cheese.

When her cheese was served, the eldest sister cut the rind off so thick that it included a lot of good cheese. "She will waste too much and throw out everything," thought the man. "You cannot choose her."

Then the second sister received her cheese. She ate her piece without cutting off any of the rind. "She is not the wife for you either," thought the man. "She will be disorderly."
