The father and the two daughters
A father had two daughters. One married a gardener and the other with a brick maker. After a while he went to visit the married woman with the gardener, and asked him about his situation. She said: "Everything is wonderful with me, but I do have a special desire: that it rains every day with abundance so that the plants always have enough water.
A few days later he visited his other daughter, also asking about his condition. And she said:
-I have no complaints, only a special desire: that the days stay dry, without rain, with bright sun, so that the bricks dry and harden very well.
The father meditated: if one wishes rain, and the other dry time, to which of the two do I attach my wishes?
