Two wives

Once upon a time two merchants, both married, and they lived together among themselves and lovingly. Here's one merchant says to the other:

- Listen, brother! Let's do a sample, whose wife is better than her husband loves.

- Come on. Yes, as a sample to do something?

- Here's how: Collect a minute so we'll go to Macarius fair, and that his wife Forest will cry more and she loves her husband.

Here is gathered in a way, they were to accompany his wife. One cries, and spreads, and the other is forgiven and she laughs.

Merchants went to the fair, drove fifty miles commercials and talked among themselves. -

- Look what your wife likes, - said one - as she wept at parting, and mine was to say goodbye, and she laughs!

And another said:

- Look here, brother! Now his wife have spent, the gate a minute ago, so let's see what our wives do without us.

- Good!

The gate to the night and entered the city on foot. Appropriate advance to avoid the merchant, whose wife wept bitterly at parting. Look out the window. She sits with her lover and walks. Lover pours a glass of vodka, and he drank it brings:

- Here, my dear, have a drink!

She drank it and said:

- You are my dear friend! Now, I'm yours.

- That's what nonsense: all mine! Something to eat and her husband's!

She turned to him backwards, and says:

- That's it ... - One ass!

Then we went to the merchants of his wife, who was not crying, and laughing. Came under the window and watch: before the icons lit lamp, and she is on her knees, praying fervently but says:

- Grant me, O Lord, my cohabitant in the way of any return!

- Well, - said one merchant to another - now going to trade.

Let's go to the fair and sold very well: this problem was in the trade, which never happened! It's time to really go home. Began to gather and heads to buy goodies for their wives. One merchant, whose wife was praying to God, I bought her a nice brocade on her coat, and the other just bought my wife brocade on her back:

- Vit my rear only! So I'm only half a yard and it is necessary - I do not want my wife bastard!

Wives came and gave presents.

- What did you buy hateful rag? - Said his wife with a heart.

- Do you remember ... how you sat with her lover, and said that you have only my ass - well, I do my part and equipped. Our brocade on it and the carrier.
