Answer 1

There was once an old woman who had two servants to work for her. They had to clean the house, prepare the meals, wash and iron the clothes. The old woman made them work very hard. She always called the poor girls. She even didn't let them rest. In warm or cold weather, summer or winter, as soon as the cock crowed they had to jump out of bed, dress quickly and start work. The poor girls had a hard life and they were in despair. One day the girls had an idea. When the old woman was out they decided to kill the poor bird. When the old woman came home and found that the cock was dead, the two servants blamed the cat. That night they went to bed very happy. "Tomorrow," they thought, "we shall have a long rest in bed." But they were wrong. The old woman was so afraid of their losing a minute that she got up herself to watch them every morning.
