<h3><SPAN name="chap160"></SPAN>160 A Riddling Tale</h3>
<p>Three women were changed into flowers which grew in the field, but one of them
was allowed to be in her own home at night. Then once when day was drawing
near, and she was forced to go back to her companions in the field and become a
flower again, she said to her husband, “If thou wilt come this afternoon
and gather me, I shall be set free and henceforth stay with thee.” And he
did so. Now the question is, how did her husband know her, for the flowers were
exactly alike, and without any difference? Answer: as she was at her home
during the night and not in the field, no dew fell on her as it did on the
others, and by this her husband knew her.</p>
