green fairy tale book

Chapter 36 Six Fools
Once upon a time, there was a girl who was 37 years old and had no lover, because she was too stupid and no one wanted to marry her.

One day, a man came and paid attention to her.Her mother beamingly sent her daughter down to get a beer in the cellar.

The daughter didn't come back, so the mother went down to see what was going on, and saw her sitting on the steps with her head in her hands, the beer beside her was dripping all over the floor, and she forgot to turn off the faucet.

"What are you doing here?" Mom asked.

"I was wondering what to name my first child after I married this man. All the names have been used."

Mom sat next to her and said, "I'm thinking with you. Honey."

The father and the young man stayed up there, wondering why neither the daughter nor the wife came back.He went down by himself and saw that they were all sitting on the steps, the tap was not turned off, and the beer was pouring all over the floor.

"What are you doing here? The beer is spilling all over the floor."

"We're thinking about what to name our daughters when they get married. All the names have been used."

"I'm thinking with you," said the father.

None of them went up, and the suitor got impatient and came down too.He saw the three men sitting on the steps with the tap left on and the beer spilling all over the floor.

"Why don't you go upstairs? Don't you see the beer spilling all over the floor?"

"I know," said the father, "but if you marry my daughter, what will the children be called? All the names have been used."

The young man replied, "Oh, goodbye, and if I meet someone more foolish than you, I will come back and marry your daughter."

The young man hit the road.After walking a long way, he came to an orchard.Saw someone knock nuts off a tree and tried to throw them on a cart with a fork.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"We tried to fill the car with walnuts, but we couldn't."

The young man advised them to put them in baskets first and then dump them on carts.

Then he said to himself, "I've found a fooler than them."

He continued on his way.Walking and walking, he came to the woods.He saw a man trying to feed acorns to a pig, trying to drive the pig up a tree.

"What are you doing, sir?" he asked.

"I tried to make the pig eat some acorns, but he wouldn't climb the tree."

"Go up by yourself and shake the fruit down, and the pig will eat it by itself."

"Oh, I didn't even think of that."

"Second fool," said the young man.

He walked on and came across a man who had never worn pants before, and he was putting them on.He hung his trousers on a tree, and he jumped up and down himself, trying to jump into the trousers and put them on.

"It's easier when you hold the pants with your hands and put your legs in," said the young man.

"Sure enough, my dear! You're so clever, I never thought of that."

The young man really found that there were three people in the world who were more stupid than his bride's family, so he went back and married the bride.

Later, they raised many children.
