ABSTRACT

There was once a King of a certain city who had four Wives, of whom he loved three, but he did not like the fourth at all. So he went and obtained birthpotions for the three, and they came outside to grind them upon the stones, and when they had done so they went inside again, but the Unbeloved Wife had only corn to grind there. Now God allowed them all to conceive, the whole four of them, including her, and at the proper time the King said " Let each return to her Mother's house for the event" (1).
