Once upon a time there lived an old woman in a kingdom ruled by a beautiful queen. She had four sons but they use to fight a lot and their wives were also unkind to each other. They all lived in the same house but as they argued so much, everyone had separate kitchens. The old woman was very sad as she wished that they would be able to live as one big happy family,
helping each other. She threatened to throw them out of the house if they could not learn to live as a united family and in order to save money she told her sons and their,
wives that they would only be able to use one kitchen. She hoped that this would mean that the wives would learn to live in harmony with each other. The sons were also fed up with the situation and agreed to their mother’s command.
As the old woman was very poor, the sons all gave their daily earnings to their mother. One day the youngest son went to find work in the city but had no luck.
