Just So Stories, The Butterfly that Stamped, part 2: the Butterfly stamps, Balkis is wise, and the book ends, sentence 31

Balkis's words to Suleiman: «First, O my Lord, because I loved you; and secondly, O my Lord, because I know what women-folk are.» The story's jokes about «what women-folk are» and «what men-folk are» belong to 1902; real people do not all fit such ideas.

Who acts: Egyptian Queen, words, women, men, real people, Balkis · What happens: love, know, be, belong, not fit, word · To what, where: you, such ideas · Speech: someone speaks here
