WeiFP-1:
A winegrower works hard in his vineyard while his wife stays in bed undisturbed together with the minister. About this she forgets to bring her husband his lunch so he comes home unexpectedly. When the wife sees him from far she advises the minister to sit with her on the bed and pretend to take her confession. The husband is in dismay when he thinks his wife is mortally ill and thanks the minister for taking care of his wife. Epimythion: Thus women make fools out of men.
