Dad tales 6: Too strong and too weak

Rate: 0 Flag

A man had a wife and two daughters. His wife was much too strong and much too weak. His wife was too strong and she yelled at him. This made the man feel like a worthless earthworm. Each day the man was hunched over on the inside like he was standing in a cottage with a low ceiling. His wife was too weak and when she had yelled enough she cried because he was not strong enough to yell back. His wife’s crying made him feel like a worthless maggot.  The situation was hopeless. The man was not weak enough to cry and not strong enough to yell back.  

The daughters listened to the yelling and the crying. There was no way out;  the man and his wife were married after all. The man suffered greatly.

Enough time passed for some life to happen. The marriage ended. The man remarried. The second wife was much too strong. The man was happy.
