People in the east prize virginity as highly
as do people from the west. so when one lass was
due to give it away officially, she was quite disturbed
about flunking in the test.....enough to confess to mum
(ammi) that she had not always kept her legs crossed...
which is no small achievement considering how
closely guarded women are in the east......
since the family honor was not be comprised, ammi told
her daughter to stuff in an apple and 'he' (in the shy
east females never even mention the names of their men
even if they are only formally engaged) would never
know.
so the bridal night passed away in the routine eastern
manner of lot of sweat and difficulty...
early in the morning our lass wakes up and yanks the
apple out and placing it on the dresser go about
getting a bathe and doing the usual things like lighting
a incence stick...
later the lazy groom pops out of bed stretches and starts
towards the bathroom.. . on the way he sees the apple
on the dresser and takes a bit to the dismay of his
bride..
shortly, ammi calls up to find how her daughter had passed
the night and the girl wails...oh ammi! i left the apple
on the dresser in the morning and 'he' ate it. what am i
to do..will he be harmed?
to which ammi replies..hush silly girl your abba (dad in
the east) ate a melon.
