One day Andare was about to leave the palace after his duties. The Queen called him over:
"You have been coming to the palace for a very long time. But you've never brought your wife. I'd like to talk to her!" the Queen said.
I'll bring her over to the palace tomorrow. But, your majesty, she is a little hard of hearing. You may have to speak loudly so that she can hear."replied Andare.
Andare went home and told his wife that the Queen wished to see her but that she must speak up when she spoke to the queen because she couldn't hear very well.
The following day the King saw the Queen and Andare's wife talking at the top of their voices. The voices were unbearable:
"Stop it! Stop it! What's happening here?" he asked
"I'm talking to Andare's wife in a loud voice because she is hard of hearing" the Queen replied.
"I'm also talking to the Queen in a loud voice because she is supposed to be hard of hearing" said Andare's wife.
The King at once understood what had happened. He couldn't stop himself laughing.
