Description

Today's story is that of two wives. One is young, pretty, and mean. The other is older, nearly bald, and kind. After a bit of magic from a holy man, one of the wives is beautiful and has an arm full of precious gifts. The other one comes home frightfully ugly and absolutely poor. Which one is which?
