The humorous story from Odesa tells about Tsiilu Markivna, who, after her husband, Moni, left due to being unable to cope with the "challenges" of the kitchen and bedroom, feels free rather than lonely.
The woman, when asked why she was sitting, replied that she wasn't planning to lie down, implying that artists often depict women lying down as something beautiful. Tsiya Markovna added that her husband had always believed that a woman's place was in the kitchen.
In response to the question about Mone, she stated that he had fled. When asked if she was alone, Ciela Markivna stated that she was free from everything, including unnecessary superstitions.
The suitor inquired whether he could "dock," to which Tsiya Markivna responded that he could try, but she wouldn't be making borscht for just anyone.
