Juan was a busy farmer who lived with his lazy, stiff-necked wife. He began work on the farm from dawn to sunset. But when he came home, his wife would neither talk or show him any single sign of love. His clothes which are practically raggy as compared to or in contrast to his wife's decent clothings for she has many" camisas" and "sayas". Every day such is the atmosphere of Juan's cottage. But one day, while he is in his poultry yard feeding his foals— for he has fifty hens and one rooster— he heard the conversation of the rooster and the turkey-gobbler who seems to envy the lot of the rooster. “Why do you enjoy your life on this farm? You seem to be content and happy," was the turkey's question. "I am only one rooster here and I am their chief who holds the absolute sway all over them. None would dare to disobey me," was the rooster's reply. Struck by the reply of the rooster on the superiority of man over his wife, Juan immediately took his whip, looked for his wife and upon seeing her he whipped her until the wife made her submissive entreaty. From that time on Juan had a happy farm life with the helping hand of his wife. | Juan was a busy farmer who lived with his lazy, stiff-necked wife. He began work on the farm from dawn to sunset.
