Seeing that dinner was ready, Father Su felt better. He took a seat on a stool and ate dinner in the kitchen. He thought his wife might be chatting with a neighbor and would be back later. So, he went to sleep without waiting for her. Because he was so tired, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
