About this episode
कश्चन गृहस्थः प्रतिदिनं भोजनसमये स्वस्य पात्रस्य पार्श्वे एकां सूचीम्, एकं जलपात्रं च स्थापयति स्म । तस्य कारणं किम् इति तस्य गृहस्थस्य गुणवती कार्यकुशला च पत्नी सुशीला न जानाति स्म । एवमेव वर्षाणि अतीतानि । अथ कदाचित् मरणावस्थां प्राप्तवतीं सुशीलां कापि अपेक्षा अस्ति चेत् वदतु इति पतिः अवदत् । तदा सा सूच्याः जलपात्रस्य च विषयम् अपृच्छत् । तदा पतिः अवदत् 'भवती परिवेषणसमये यदि अन्नपुलकान् पातयेत् तर्हि तेषाम् उन्नयनाय क्षालनाय च तौ पार्श्वे स्थापयामि स्म । किन्तु जागरूकतया भवती परिवेषयति स्म सदापि' इति ।

A man always kept a needle and a bowl of water beside his plate during meals. His wife, Sushila, never knew why. When she was nearing the end of her life, she asked him about it. He explained that they were meant to pick up and clean any grains of food that might fall while she served. However, because she always served so carefully, he never had to use them.
