Ceaia ce-au totile svitu vezut - The Father who Saw the Whole World

Once there were a father and a mother who had a son. The son would always take their goat out to graze. On one occasion, the son fell asleep and lost the goat. When he came home in the evening, he said to his father, „Father, I lost the goat."

„What were you doing that you didn't pay more attention?!" And the father started beating him... The boy ran away from his father. Where did he run away? Under his father's and mother's bed! The father said, „He'll come back later all the same!"

The father and the mother went to bed together. As they were kissing, the father said, „You see, my wife, I can see the whole world now!"

And the son said, from under the bed, „Father, father, so now you see our goat as well?!"
