Quotes
-
Aunt : When a farmer buys silk robes and washes his whole body every day, there's a woman. That's sure!
Uncle : But a rich man may have two wives but the wife must cling to her husband. That is as it should be.
Aunt : That's right. A woman is allowed but one mistake.
Uncle : Of course. Now then, it is said: you may see a teapot with four teacups, but did you ever see a teacup with four teapots?
Aunt : It is also said: do you ever see two spoons in the same bowl that do not knock against each other?
