Abstract
Once upon a time, there lived a khan who wondered whether or not there were any couples that never quarreled with each other. Thinking that such couples must exist, the khan’s son sets out on a journey to find such people. After finding such a couple, the prince brings them to the place. The khan asks the woman whether she indeed does not quarrel with her husband. She relays the khan the following story. One day, in order to protect her sheep from an attacking wolf she picked a bone from the ground and tossed it at the predator. Later she found out that the bone was of a man’s bone. She vowed to herself that she would always obey her husband and never quarrel with any man.
