The self-righteous bride did not know how to cook and lived with her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law was in charge of cooking. One day, the mother-in-law fell ill and they had a guest that day.
The bride wanted to cook rice, but she didn’t know how, she thought to herself
If he does not ask anyone, his plate will be ruined, and if he asks his mother-in-law
His reputation goes and he blames him.
He went to his mother-in-law and tried to ask questions in such a way that she would not realize that she did not know how to cook.
He asked the mother-in-law: How many cups of rice should I cook so that it is neither too much nor too little?
The mother-in-law answered the question and asked: Do you know how to cook it?
The bride said: You have the right, I have cooked pilaf thousands of times. But it is better if you also tell me.
The mother-in-law said: First, you have to clean the rice well
The bride said: I know
The mother-in-law said: Then you wash it twice and leave it in water for a few hours.
The bride said: I know
The mother-in-law said: You put rice in a pot and pour water on it
And you pour a little salt and put it on the stove to boil.
The bride said: I know this
The mother-in-law said: When you see that the rice kernel under the tooth is not dry, pour it in a colander so that a lot of water is removed.
Then put it on the pot again and oil it.
The bride said: I know this.
The mother-in-law was upset that the bride said, “I know.”
And thought to teach him a lesson not to be so proud,
That’s why he said: Put a brick on the door of the pot
And put fire on it and let it stay for an hour and the rice will be cooked well.
The bride said: Thank you, but I knew this.
The story of the proverb put a brick in the pot The story of the proverb
The bride followed all the words and finally put a raw clay on the pot door.
But after a few minutes, the clay melted due to the steam of the pot and poured into the rice.
When the bride went to pull the rice, she saw that the rice was ruined and complained to her husband.
Her husband asked: Why did you put clay on it?
The bride said: Your mother taught you. It is true that they say that bride and mother-in-law do not work together.
The mother-in-law arrived and laughed and said: My lie was in response to your lies.
I did this so that you don’t make fun of other people’s experience.
The bride said: I was afraid that you would blame me.
The mother-in-law said: The blame belongs to the one who wants to lie and say that he knows everything.
No one knows everything from the first day, but if he is not selfish, he will learn better.
Don’t worry, I have cooked rice separately for you and it is ready for you to go and bring it to the table.
This example is used when someone asks something and after hearing the answer says:
I thought the same myself.
