Once upon a time, there lived a poor farmer and his wife. One day, having 1 their day's labor and eaten their simple 2 , they were sitting by the fire. And then they had a quarrel over who should 3 the door—it was blown open by the 4 .
"Darling, shut the door!" said the man.
" 5 , do it yourself!" the woman answered.
"I will not shut it, and you shall not shut it," said the man, "but let the one who speaks the 6 word shut it."
His words 7 the wife, so the old couple, well satisfied, went to 8 in silence.
In the middle of the night they heard a 9 , and looking around, they found that a wild dog had 10 the room, and that he was busy 11 their food. Not a word, however, would either of these 12 people say, and the dog, having eaten as much as he wanted, went out of the house.
The next morning the woman went 13 by herself.
When she was 14 , a barber entered and said to the husband, "Why are you 15 here alone?" The farmer didn't say a word. The barber then shaved (剃) his head, but still he did not 16 . He shaved off half his beard, but even then the man kept silent. "The man is crazy!" cried the barber, and he 17 escaped out of the house.
At this moment the man's wife 18 from the shop. She, seeing her husband in such a(n) 19 condition, cried, "Ah! What have you been 20 ?"
"You spoke the first word," said the farmer, "so, please shut the door."
