There were two brothers, one rich and the other poor. The poor one had a good wife, and urged by her, invited guests for Passover. The rich one had a bad wife; he followed her advice and invited no one and was told by her that since he was ignorant how to perform the service, he should imitate the example of his neighbour. He watched to see what his neighbour did. This man was drunk, and on being awakened by his wife, he beat her. The rich brother returnd home and did the same. Attracted by the noise, soldiers came and broke into the house and robbed him of everything.
