"All right, evidently he needed it."
All saw that Iván was a fool. His wife said to him:
"They say about you that you are a fool."
"All right," he said.
Iván's wife, too, was a fool, and she thought and thought.
"Why should I go against my husband?" she said. "The thread belongs where the needle is."
She took off her regal garments, put them in a coffer, and went to the dumb girl to learn to work. She learned, and began to help her husband.
All the wise men left Iván's kingdom, and only the fools were left. Nobody had any money. They lived and worked and fed themselves and all good people.
