Once upon a time the king of a far away land,decided to learn whether the husband or the wife was the 'head' of the house in his subjects' homes.
So he send out emissaries to find out.If the husband answered that he was the 'head' of the house he got a horse as a gift/prize.If the husband answered that it was his wife who was the boss,he got a chicken!
The king's emissaries traveled all over the kingdom but they only gave out chickens as gifts/prizes!
They arrived at the last house to ask the king's question.The husband answered the door and the emissary asked him:'Who is the 'head' of this house?'
'Of course it is I',replied the man.The emissary was as thrilled as he was surprised,and told the man that he had just won a horse as a gift/prize.He then asked the man what color he'd like his horse to be;black or white?
The man who had just won the horse turned to his wife and asked:'Honey,what do you think?Should I get it in black or white?'
