Contexto
The farmer cautioned him, "She won't do a hand's turn. Maybe you better take one of her sisters." The gentleman said, "I'll train her to work." And so he married the lazy, idlesome girl that wouldn't do a hand's turn. When they got to his house, he told the cooks to give the work hands the things that belonged to be put on his table and give him and his new wife what they cooked for the work hands
