The wife's nagging was so much that the only place Fred usually found peace was whenever he was out ploughing in the fields. Which he always went with his old donkey.
On this fateful day, Fred's wife came to the fields to give him his lunch. While she was there, she began to complain about the distance she had walked, how hot the weather was, how she was tired of him not finding something else to do besides being on the farm, and so on. The nagging was so intense that Fred began to have a headache and his old donkey raised up its hind feet and hit Fred's wife on the head so hard, she died instantly.

During the funeral, the priest noticed notice that when then women went to Fred, to speak words of consolation to him he would nod, but when the men went he would shake his head. Much later the curious priest asked Fred why he did that. He answered that the women each kept telling him what a wonderful and beautiful woman his wife had been. He had to nod in agreement. Meanwhile, each of the men that came to him kept asking him if the donkey was for sale, to which he shook his head.
