"Tell me," said one, "What happened to your son?"
"My son? The poor, poor lad!" sighed the other. What an unfortunate marriage he made, to a girl who won't do a bit of work in the house. She won't cook, she won't sew, she won't wash or clean. All she does is sleep and loaf and read in bed. The poor boy even has to bring her breakfast in bed, would you believe it?"
"That's awful ! And what about your daughter?"
"Ah, now she's lucky one! She married an angel. He won't let her do a thing in the house. He has servants to do the cooking and sewing and washing and cleaning. And each morning he brings her breakfast in bed, would yo believe it? All she does is sleep as long as she wishes, and spends the rest of the day relaxing and reading in bed."
