A man once had two daughters, one of whom had married a poor farmer, the other a potter. The father went to visit each of them and asked; 'How is business going?'
'Very well,' replied the first daughter, 'but we could use more water to irrigate the land. We pray every night the God will send us rain!' When he asked the second daughter, she replied: 'Business is going well, but we pray to God for dry weather to harden our posts!' 'And what should I pray for?' exclaimed the father, 'if one daughter wants one thing, and the other the opposite?'
