A farmer who was on his way home from market had the feeling that he had forgotten something; but what it was he couldn't figure out. As he neared home this conviction increased to such a degree that he stopped his horses two or three times, scratched his head in perplexity, and tried to recall what he had forgotten, but in vain. At last he reached home and was met by his daughter, who looked at him in surprise and cried, "Why Father, what have you done with Mother?"
