Research says that husbands do not do their fair share of work around the house. A study from an American university says that men seldom do the same share of housework. Researchers interviewed 182 working couples who became first-time parents. Both husbands and wives worked almost the same numbers of hours in full-time jobs. However, men did five hours a week less housework than women after their baby was born.
It is a different story for mothers. Becoming a parent added about 21 hour a week to a mother's work. Most of this was looking after her baby. New fathers did not do more work because they did not realize the mother was doing so much more. Another reason is that after a baby is born, fathers follow the "traditional" roles. That is, the mother looks after the baby and the father works outside. This happens even when the mother is workings the same number of hours iii her job.

A mouse was surprised to discover that the farmer and his wife had a mousetrap (老鼠夹) in the house. It ran to warn everyone,
"There is a mousetrap in the house!”
A hen raised its head and said, "Mr. Mouse, this mousetrap is only for you. I won't be worried about it. “The mouse turned to a pig, "I am sorry, Mr. Mouse, but the mousetrap has nothing to do with me, either!" the pig said. Then the mouse turned to a cow. "It sounds like you have a problem, not Me.” the cow said. The mouse returned to the house with head down and it was very sad because no one would help.
That night die farmer's wife heard a loud sound and she rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness she could not see that it was a snake. The snake bit (咬) the farmer's wife. The wife caught a bad fever and the fanner thought the best way to treat a fever was chicken soup. So the farmer killed the hen for the soup. The wife got worse and her friends came to v18it her. The farmer had to kill the pig to feed them. But the wife didn't get better and died. Her friends came and the fanner had to kill the cow to feed all of them.
