- “Who Was the Father of Noah’s Sons?”

“Who Was the Father of Noah’s Sons?” A foolish farmer (young man) wants to become a sexton (teacher). Among other questions, the clergyman (landlord) asks him, “Who was the father of Noah’s sons?” The farmer cannot answer this question and tells his wife about it. She wants to help him and asks him, “Who is the father of our miller’s sons?” – “Our miller.” Now the fool believes he knows the right answer. He goes back to the clergyman and says to him, “The father of Noah’s sons is our miller.” [J2713].
