The Father And His Two Daughters

A man had two daughters; the elder was married to a gardener, and the younger to a tile-maker.

One day, he visited the elder daughter, and inquired how she was and how all things went with her. She said, "All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered."
Not long after, he went to the younger daughter, and inquired about her life; she replied, "I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried."

He said to her, "If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'
