When the wife heard this, she said, "How come you say this? I cannot invite any Brahmin as we are already very poor. We have neither good food, nor good clothes. I cannot afford to invite any Brahmin!" But the Brahmin explained, "Dear wife, even when we have a mouthful to eat, we must share half of it with someone in need." After much convincing, the Brahmani agreed, "I have some sesame seeds. I will clean and remove their husks, and cook a tasty dish for a Brahmin." The next morning, the Brahmin left for the city as planned. After he was gone, his wife cleaned the sesame seeds in warm water, and carefully removed their husks. She then put the sesame seeds outside in the sun to dry. Meanwhile, she started doing her household chores. When the wife heard this, she said, "How come you say this?
