The Little Omelet (Italian Folk Tale)

Folk Tales, Italian Folk Tales6150


Once upon a time there was a little woman who had a little room and a little hen. The hen laid an egg and the little woman took it and made a little omelet of it, and put it to cool in the window. Along came a fly and ate it up. Imagine what an omelet that must have been! The little woman went to the magistrate and told him her story. He gave her a club and told her to kill the fly with it wherever she saw it. At that moment a fly lighted on the magistrate”s nose, and the woman, believing it to be the same fly, gave it a blow and broke the magistrate”s nose.
