Today I read this Bulgarian folk tale to my daughter. It's about a lazy young woman who was raised not to do any housework. When she gets married, her husband teaches her a lesson using a rug, which he asks to do various chores and then beats it for not doing them. The rug is of course duly placed on the back of the woman:) The version in the storybook was much more detailed and horrific:D Male chauvinists, domestic violence, abuse... it's all there. Omg. It's a meeen's world;) Back to cooking now.

Terrible!
I also remember one that teaches children about what is work and what not: "The most beautiful hands", if you know it. I don't remember who was asked which are the most beautiful hands. He rejects the tender hands of pretty ladies and stops his choice upon the rough and worn out hands of a worker.
So in case you don't know, only physical labour is worthy...
