Fisher Man and his wife

There was a man who went fishing with his son in a river. When he dropped his fishing line into the river, it got tangled around the root of a tree but the man thought that his fishing line caught a big fish; he could not lift the line; then he told his son to go home and tell his wife to quarrel with the family and the neighbors because he did not what his relatives to ask for some fish. Then his son went to his house to tell his mother to provoke a quarrel. She put on only a strip of cloth round her chest and wearing a s short bikini and she pretended to be like a foolish woman then she painted her face black; and then went to her relatives’ houses.

All her relatives saw her in a strange condition so they asked her “Hi! Why did you do this? Why do you put that black on your face? “Then she blamed them and called them names “Damned! Are your heads heavy when I paint my face black? What is that to you. Do I hurt you when I paint my face black?

All her calling them names and they were very angry with her; then they called her names in return. Some were very angry they took her to the judge. The judge asked her to pay money to those whom she called names.

After the fisherman had told his son to ask his wife to provoke a quarrel with his relatives, he dived to take the fish that the fishing line had caught. When he dived into the water, his head was hurt by the tree which got tangled with the fishing line, his eyes began to bleed; then he fumbled around to fish the fish but he found only the root of the tree then he got out of the water and put up his hand to shield his eyes and finally he went to the place where he took off his clothes. But while he dived into the water, his clothes were blown away by the wind.

The fisherman felt very cold, his eyes pained him very much and he wanted to go home but he could not because he was naked; then he hid within a bush till night came. At night he crept in to his house but he could not because there was light so he asked for clothes from his wife. When he put in on, he entered his house. His wife told him that she gave as a fine all the money and goods to their relatives because she called them nmes.

The two lost everything; the man did not catch the fish, his eyes were hurt, his clothes were gone and his wife was fined by the judge.
