When he was newly married, Mullah Nasruddin used to frighten his young, youthful and simple wife into submission, treat her like a slave, make her work throughout the day by making her do all sorts of work, and had made her life miserable by his excessive demands.
Every day he used to threaten her: “You better do this - or else I will do something you won’t like.”
And the scared wife used to meekly do whatever work he told her.
One day, totally overcome with tiredness, almost on the verge of collapse, when it became too much to bear, the young wife got so fed up that, boldly but with a shake of fear in her heart, she asked him: “If I don’t do the work you tell me what will you do?”
Mulla Nasrudin looked at her gently and said: “I will do the work myself.”
