Three women were transformed into flowers growing in the field
Three women were changed into flowers which grew in the field
One of them was allowed to stay in her own home at night
but one of them was allowed to be in her own home at night
At dawn she must return and told her husband how to free her
Then once when day was drawing near, and she was forced to go back to her companions in the field and become a flower again, she said to her husband: "If thou wilt come this afternoon and gather me, I shall be set free and henceforth stay with thee."
The husband came to gather, but all flowers looked exactly alike
And he did so. Now the question is, how did her husband know her, for the flowers were exactly alike, and without any difference?
The answer revealed: the flower without dew was his wife
Answer: "As she was at her home during the night and not in the field, no dew fell on her as it did on the others, and by this her husband knew her."
