Long ago, there lived a couple in a village.

One day, they slaughtered their sheep and cooked the meat in a pot.

They did not eat the cooked mutton yet. Instead, they went to the field.

They wanted to get grass to use as toothpicks.

On the way, they met a man. They told him about the meat.

"But do not go to our house to eat," they added.

However, the man went directly to their home and found the pot.

He ate all the meat and left an empty pot.

The couple returned to their house later.

They found the empty pot surrounded by a swarm of flies.

They were very surprised.

"It must be those flies that ate all the meat," concluded the couple.

Later on, one of the flies perched on the woman's nose.

She told her husband to hit that fly and kill it.

So the man got a big stick and hit his wife's nose.

The fly escaped but the woman did not!
