A careless wife (Russian folktale)
Once upon a time there were husband and wife. The wife was a lazy and careless woman. Moreover, she had the biggest sweet tooth: she had eaten everything. She wasted all their money on nuts and gingerbread. At last, she was left without anything, except a torn shirt to such an exten torn.
"Go, honey, to the market and buy a shirt for me for the festival," said the woman to her husband.
The husband went to the fair and saw a goose for sale and bought it, instead of the shirt.
When he came back home, his wife was asking if he had bought a shirt for her.
"I bought something, but only goose," said the man.
But the woman didn't hear his words exactly and replied: "Doesn't matter if it's tight, I will wear it." She took off her old shirt and threw it into the furnace. And then asked: "Where is it? Give it to me."
"But I said that I bought a goose, not a shirt!"
And so the woman was left without any shirt, just naked.
