the girl knew a butcher in town. she pleased him of course. but she had always dreamt of marrying a sailor. of course there were no sailors where she lived, because there was no sea near her town. still she insisted on wanting a sailor for herself. she wanted the best and only the best for her future.
the closest she ever came to meeting a sailor was meeting a fisherman. she forgot immediately about the butcher and chased the fisherman for a long time to ask him all about the sea. in a small town like hers she did not know any other person who had sailed a boat in the ocean. the fisherman was so enchanting in comparison to the butcher...
but we know how the story ends. or else "the butchers wife" wouldn't be up there in the title, right?
