This is my first time posting on TRP. My old man told me this witty little story when I was younger to explain to me the difference between male and female mentality. ( This story was told to me in Ukrainian so I'm translating this the best I can.)

Once upon a time, there lived a married couple on a farm. The husband worked tirelessly on the fields growing his crops and taking care of the animals while the wife took care of the house, knitted clothing for the family, etc. God saw this hardworking couple and decided to help them out. He disguised himself as a traveler and passed by the fields that the husband was working on. Upon their meeting God taught the man how to work the fields more efficiently by showing him how to craft better tools. God helped out the woman in the same way. The household now prospered. After a while God decided to visit the couple again this time as himself. Upon visiting the farm he asked the man " Your crops are so rich and cattle is so healthy. Nobody in the village is comparable to you, how did you do it? " The man was very thankful for the praises, but replied with "God you wouldn't believe this but a random traveler was passing by. He decided to help me for no apparent reason and taught me the techniques which sprouted these magnificent results." God acknowledged the man and continued on to meet the wife. Once he confronted the woman he asked her the same sort of question. The wife picked her head up high and said "I was doing the work that I usually do, when suddenly an idea popped into my head. A WHOLE NEW WAY OF DOING THINGS! Thus I followed my instinct and now you see these wonderful results."

As I was thought in grade school the moral of the story if what you take from it. Depending on what you trying to get out of swallowing TRP is the type of moral connection that you will make to this story. Some may see this story as something that should warn you about a woman's sneaky personality traits , some may connect it to today's feminism , while others may look at the man in hopes that they can be as simple, virtuous and hardworking as he is.
