TWO LEGS OR ONE?

What did Goha buy from the butcher's shop at the beginning of the story?

Consider a real-life situation where someone hides a mistake and then argues about it. How does this compare to Goha's wife's actions?

• It is similar, as both involve deceit to avoid blame.
• It is different, as the wife was forced to lie.
