Beschrijving
The Faithless Wife. A married woman is afraid her husband will discover that she has a lover. In order to prevent this, she asks several advisers what she should do. They suggest different foods that would incapacitate her husband. She does not know that one of the advisers is her own husband (one of his friends).
After she serves the foods to her husband, he pretends to be blind. Believing it is now safe, she invites her lover into the house. Her husband punishes (slays) both of them [K1553].
