really short folk tale
i feel really bad today becase i'm still tired and i have a headache that wont go away. but i told you guys i would tell a folktale, so here goes:
there was a small family that lived in one house. there was a man, his wife, his infant son, and his elderly father. his elderly father wasn't mush use around the house, always eating and smoking. so the husband decided one day to send him away. the wife pleaded with the husband to let the elderly father stay, but the husband would not hear of it. "i shall send him with half a blanket" said the husband. "i think you should at least give him the whole banket" said the wife. then the infant baby spoke up. "i think you should send him with half the blanket. i' going to need the other half when it is time to send you away." then the husband and wife realised what the baby was saying, and they cried. they let the elderly fath stay and eat and smoke all he wanted.
from ireland, with a variation from germany.
