Our warrior returned from the war in Greece

bringing back a Greek baking pan and

wounds on his body.

The women told him the pan from Greece

was no good because it was too shallow.

We told him his wounds from Greece

were no good either because they were

too shallow.

We said to him:

We could have given you deeper wounds

at home.
