Many years ago, there were only two people in the world; Old Man and Old Woman. One time while they were travelling around the earth, Old Woman said to Old Man, "Let's come to an agreement of some kind. Let's decide how the people should live when they come to this earth."

"Well," said Old Man, "I should have the first say in everything."

Old Woman thought for a while.

"I agree with you," said Old Woman. "That is, of course, if I may have the last say in everything."

From that day, the woman has always had the last word.
