Beschrijving
The Choice of a Wife. A young man asks Solomon (another king) for advice about what sort of girl he should marry: one with property, one with money, or a poor one with nothing. Solomon answers, “Go away; you don’t know anything; do whatever you like.” (“Be quiet, I am in charge; get up, so I can sit down; do whatever you like.”).
The answers mean accordingly, that the first girl would chase him away because the property belongs to her; the second would tell him that the money is hers and he is ignorant; but the third one will not meddle with anything, even if she is bad tempered.
