In one family there grew up a girl named Dogbe. She had many brothers and sisters. All children helped their parents with work in the field and at home. Only Dogbe did not know how to do anything and did not want to learn anything. So she grew up lazy.

She grew up and turned into a very beautiful girl. One young man fell in love with Dogbe for her beauty and came to woo her. But Dogbe’s parents refused him, saying that he would not be happy with such a wife. After all, she won’t even be able to prepare akassa for him - Dogbe’s hands are completely inept.

The young man left, and the offended Dogbe began to cry bitterly. She cried all day and went to bed in tears. And the next morning she began to ask her mother to help her - she wanted to be hard-working and skillful.

- Learn to cook first, daughter. At least here's the acassa. It's not at all difficult to prepare. Take corn, fill it with water for a day, then the ceilings. Fill the resulting flour with water again. The bran will float to the top, remove it from the rest of the flour, and set the dough to cook. While it is cooking, add water to it and stir all the time. If the dough floats to the top, it means it’s cooked. You can make bread out of it. Then wrap them in leaves and take them to the market.

The next day, as soon as Dogbe woke up, she took money from her father, bought corn and began to prepare bread, as her mother taught her. And then she took it to the market to sell.

Once upon a time there lived a woman. She had one only daughter and her name was Guri. This Guri was such a lazy person, such a slacker and white-handed, that she did nothing but do all day long:

For this behavior, the neighbors nicknamed the girl – Lazy Guri. Just birth mother praised her slacker daughter to everyone:

The young merchant heard these words and thought: “This is just the kind of girl I would marry.”

He went to Guri’s house and wooed her. They got married and he brought his young wife to his house.

After some time, he brought a large bale of cotton and asked Guri to knead it thoroughly, comb it and spin the yarn while he went about his merchant business. He told Guri that he would take the yarn that she spun with him to other countries and sell it there.

If we're lucky, maybe we'll get rich. - He said so and left.

After his departure, Guri began to do her favorite thing: idle.

One day she was walking along the river bank. Suddenly he hears frogs croaking:

Kwa-a-a, qua-a-a..

Hey frogs! – Lazy Guri shouted to them. – If I bring you a bale of cotton, maybe you will comb it and spin the threads?

Kwa-a-a, qua-a-a..

The croaking of the frogs seemed affirmative to Guri. And she, rejoicing that there was someone who would do her work for her, ran home.

Guri returned to the river bank with a bale of cotton that her husband had left her and threw it into the water.

Here's a job for you: Comb that cotton and spin the yarn. And I will come here in a few days, take the threads and go sell them at the market.

Several days passed. Guri came to the frogs. The frogs, of course, croak:

Kwa-a-a, qua-a-a..

What are these little frogs? Where are my threads?

The frogs only continued to croak in response. Guri looked around and noticed green mud and algae on the rocks near the shore.

Oh! What have you done? Not only did you comb my cotton and spin it into yarn, you also wove your own carpet!

Guri grabbed her rosy cheeks with her hands and began to cry.

Well, okay, let it be this way: keep the carpet for yourself, and give me the money for the cotton.

She screamed, demanding money from the frogs, and got so carried away that she climbed into the water.

Suddenly, her foot stumbled upon something hard. She bent down and picked up a gold nugget from the bottom. Guri thanked the frogs, took the gold and went home.

The merchant returned from his trip. He looks: there is a large piece of gold on a shelf at home. He was surprised and asked:

Listen, wife! Where did this piece of gold come from on our shelf?

Then Guri told him about how she sold the cotton to the frogs and how she got gold for it.

My husband was simply delighted. To celebrate, he invited his mother-in-law home, gave her many different gifts and began to praise her and thank her for raising such a smart handicraft daughter.

And the mother-in-law was a shrewd woman. She immediately realized that something was wrong here and quickly guessed how things really were. She was immediately afraid that now her father-in-law would give her daughter some other job. And everything that is so hidden will come out.

And then a beetle flew into the room where the celebration in honor of Guri was taking place. It flew back and forth over people's heads and buzzed loudly. Then the mother-in-law suddenly stood up and greeted the beetle:

Hello, hello, dear aunt! My poor aunt, you are always busy with business and worries, working tirelessly. And why do you need all this, why?

These words simply struck my son-in-law like lightning:

Mom, are you okay? What are you saying here? How can this beetle be your aunt?

And the mother-in-law says:

Listen to me, son. You know that I have no secrets from you, because you are like my own son. Imagine, but this is so - the beetle is my aunt. The fact is that she had to work day after day. And the more work she had, the harder she worked, the smaller and smaller she became, until she turned into a beetle. This can happen to everyone in our family, because we are very hardworking. But those of us who overwork become small and turn into bugs.

When the son-in-law heard this, he immediately forbade his wife to do any work, so that God forbid, she would not turn into a beetle, like her aunt.

She did this every day and earned a lot of money.

One day, the young man who was wooing Dogbe went to the market and bought several loaves of bread there. He liked them. He began to ask who made such delicious bread, and was very happy when he found out that it was Dogbe bread. Soon he married Dogba.

The young couple were very happy, and the husband could not be happier with his hardworking wife.

Once upon a time there lived a woman. She had one only daughter and her name was Guri. This Guri was such a lazy person, such a slacker and white-handed, that all she did all day was do nothing:

Why should I work? Why should I work? It won’t be useful to me in life. I don’t need all these worries at all, I won’t earn happiness with this. If it were my will, I would walk. If it were my will, I would dance. I would sit If I were on the bench, Yes, my legs were dangling! I would eat and drink what I like. And I would sleep, - When sleep copes with me.

For this behavior, the neighbors nicknamed the girl – Lazy Guri. As soon as her own mother praised her idle daughter to everyone:

She is skilled at all sorts of things, My daughter, a needlewoman: And she knits and spins, And she cuts and sews, And she knows how to cook deliciously, And she will warm you up with a kind word. And whoever marries her will certainly not be lost!

The young merchant heard these words and thought: “This is just the kind of girl I would marry.” He went to Guri’s house and wooed her. They got married and he brought his young wife to his house.

Several days have passed. Guri came to the frogs. The frogs, of course, croak: - Kva-a-a, qua-a-a.. - What are these frogs, you all “kva-a-a” to “kva-a-a”. Where are my threads?

The frogs only continued to croak in response. Guri looked around and noticed green mud and algae on the rocks near the shore. “Oh!” What have you done?
