A lady asked her friend; "How is your daughter?" Her friend replied cheerfully, "My daughter is very lucky. What a wonderful husband she has! He has provided her with a servant maid, a cook, a driver and all comforts in the world. She doesn't have to get up from bed until noon. She doesn't have to cook. She doesn't have to do any work. She is treated like a princess".
