Wife, said the man, giving her a good look, are you pope now?
Yes, she said, I am pope.
Then he stood there looking at her, and it was as if he were looking into the bright sun. After he had looked at her for a while he said, Wife, It is good that you are pope!
She stood there as stiff as a tree, neither stirring nor moving.
Then he said, Wife, be satisfied now that you are pope. There is nothing else that you can become.
I have to think about that, said the woman.
Then they both went to bed, but she was not satisfied. Her desires would not let her sleep. She kept thinking what she wanted to become next.
The man slept well and soundly, for he had run about a lot during the day, but the woman could not sleep at all, but tossed and turned from one side to the other all night long, always thinking about what she could become, but she could not think of anything.
Then the sun was about to rise, and when she saw the early light of dawn she sat up in bed and watched through the window as the sun came up.
Aha, she thought. Could not I cause the sun and the moon to rise?
Husband, she said, poking him in the ribs with her elbow, wake up and go back to the flounder. I want to become like God.
The man, who was still mostly asleep, was so startled that he fell out of bed. He thought that he had misunderstood her, so, rubbing his eyes, he said, Wife, what did you say?
