Looking for a Bride
On his mother's advice, a shepherd puts 3 girls through a test to cut cheese properly and chooses the one who handles it most carefully.
There was a young shepherd who wanted to marry and knew three sisters, one of whom was as beautiful as the other, so that the choice was difficult for him and he could not make up his mind to give one of them the preference. Then he asked his mother for advice, who said, "Invite all three and put cheese in front of them and watch how they cut it." But because she was so hasty she left a lot of the good stuff on and threw it away: the third peeled off the rind properly, not too much and not too little. The shepherd told all this to his mother, and she said, "Take the third to your wife." He did that and lived contentedly and happily with her.
