The wise and the cow - New version of fable

<The Wise Wife and The Cow>

 

    Once upon a time, there was a very idle and lazy man who lived with wise wife. His wife asked him to work in the field, but he rejected her asking. His wife went to the market and met an old man who sold a cow mask which made people into a cow at the market. She bought the cow mask and gave him this mask. When he wore the cow mask on his face, he turned into a cow! The cow had to work so hard every day and had difficulty in hard working. He regretted his past faults and decided to live life to the full if he changed back into a man.

 

    One day, she went to the market with the cow. She met the old man and asked to remove the cow mask. The old man came up to him and removed the cow mask. Suddenly, he changed back into a man. After that, he studied very hard and his wife supported him as far as she could. As a result, he became a secret royal inspector. After that, he arrested badly-behaved people and put the cow mask on them.

 

Moral : The men have to get married wise wife.

<The Idle Man and the Cow>

 

    Once upon a time, there was a farmer who was very lazy and hated his work. His wife yelled at him so much that he went to the market to escape. There he met an old man who sold him a cow mask. The old man said that this mask helped men who didn't want to work. When the farmer put the mask on his face he turned into a cow! The old man sold the cow. The cow had to work so hard and he was so lonely for his family that he wished he was dead. Suddenly, he changed back into a man. He rushed home and kissed his wife and children. From that day on, he was a good worker and he never saw the old man in the market again.
