A man and a woman lived in a village. The woman was so lazy that she never wanted to do any work. She never finished what the man gave her to spin, and what she did spin she did not wind onto a reel（卷軸，盤） , but left it tangledon the bobbin（線筒） . If the man scolded her, she always had a quick tongue, and would say, "Well, how can I wind it up? I don't have a reel. First you must go into the woods and get me one."

"If that's the problem," said the man, "then I'll go into the woods, and get some wood for a reel."

Then the woman was afraid that once he had the wood, he would make a reel out of it, and she would have to wind up her yarntoward home.

The woman took a shortcutand ran as fast as she could in order to get home first. When he entered the parloronto a reel is not possible," and he told her what had happened to him in the woods. From then on he said nothing more about it.

Nevertheless, a short time later the man began to complain again about the disorderin the house. "Wife," he said, "it is a real shame that the spunyarn is just lying there on the bobbin."

"Do you know what?" she said. "Because we still don't have a reel, you go up into the loftof tow and let it boil away. Then she went to the man who was still lying in bed, and said to him, "I must go out for a while. Get up now and look after the yarn in the kettle on the fire. Do it right now, because if the cock crows and you are not looking after the yarn, it will turn into tow."

The man agreed, and did not delay. He got up at once, as fast as he could, and went into the kitchen. But when he reached the kettle and looked in, he saw with horror nothing but a clump of tow.

Afterwardthe poor man was as quiet as a mouse and said nothing at all, thinking that it was his fault, that he was to blame. And in the future he said nothing more about yarn（紗線） and spinning. But you yourself must admit that she was a disgusting woman.
