A
housewife would wake her two servants every morning when the cock crew. The
girls used to get mad at the bird and they said: “If it weren’t for that
dreadful cock, we could sleep a little longer.” So they killed the cock.
But
the housewife who was getting old and was no longer wide awake, never knew what
time it was and so at times she would wake the girls when she fancied that it
was time and so sometimes they found themselves being woken earlier than before
and even at midnight!
As
a rule man is a fool;
When
it’s hot he wants it cool,
When
it’s cool he wants it hot.
Always
wanting what is not.
