A glutton

Whenever that man took his meal, he at once picked up dishes, chewed and swallowed them all time and never took even a look at the people eating with him. His wife was very sad of his bad table manner. She offen told him to give it up but he couldn't.One day, he and his wife came to his wife's parents to attend a feast. His wife was afraid that his bad table manner would make her ashamed with her parents and the guests there so she thought a way out.According to the rural rules in the old time, the host meals with his guests first and his wife and children did in later. When the glutton attended the feast with his father-in-law and guests, his wife tied one end of a string to his toe and led the other end to the kitchen. She whispered to her husband:- Remember to pick up the dishes just when I pull the string!The man nodded. Surely, in the feast, he ate slowly because his wife in the kitchen sometimes pulled the string while doing the housework.Whenever she paid much more attention to her work and forgot pulling the string, he just gazed at the dishes and didn't dare to pick a morsel. His father-in-law then had to help him to the food.Suddenly, a hen ran across the string and got stuck there. It jerked unceasingly to get free but couldn't. In the house, the man thought his wife allowed him to eat as much as he could so he picked up the dishes continuously. At last, he felt the string was jerked so hard that he took the dishes up and shifted all their contents into his bowl!
