This is what I heard at Yearly Meeting Gathering: There was a village; a couple arrived from far away to live there. The villagers, like villagers everywhere, were suspicious of the incomers and kept their distance, but the couple had their dog, their cat and their mouse for company, and for many years they lived a quiet but comfortable life, for the husband was a skilled gardener and the wife a skilled cook.
