Once a Very Stupid Man
She is tired and a little ill and not thinking very clearly and as
she tries to get dressed she keeps asking him where her things are
and he very patiently tells her where each thing is first her pants,
then her shirt, then her socks, then her glasses. He suggests to her
that she should put her glasses on and she does, but this doesnt
seem to help very much. There isnt much light coming into the room.
Part of the way through this search and this attempt to dress while he
lies under the covers after earlier getting up to feed the cat, opening
the can food with a noise that puzzled her because it sounded like
milk squirting from the teat of a cow into a metal bucket. As she lies
there nearly dressed beside him he talks to her steadily about various
things, and after a while, as she has been listening to him with
different reactions according to what he says to her, first resentment,
then
great
interest,
then
amusement,
then
distraction,

There was once a man who was very stupid. When he got up
in the morning it was so hard for him to find his clothes that at night
he almost hesitated to go to bed for thinking if the trouble he would
have on waking. One evening he took paper and pencil and with great
effort, as he undressed, noted down exactly where he put everything
he had on. The next morning, well pleased with himself, he took the
slip of paper in his hand and read: cap there it was, he set it on his
head; pants there they lay, he got into them; and so it went until
he was fully dressed. But now he was overcome with consternation,
and he said to himself: This is all very well, I have found my clothes
and I am dressed, but where am I myself? Where in the world am I?
And he looked and looked, but it was a vain search; he could not find
himself. And that is how it is with us, said the rabbi.
She stops reading. He likes the story, but does not seem to like
the ending Where am I? as much as he likes the beginning,
about the mans problem and his solution.
She herself feels she is like the very stupid man, not only
because she couldnt find her clothes, not only because sometimes
other simple things besides getting dressed are also beyond her, but
most of all because she often doesnt know where she is, and
particularly concerning this man she doesnt know where she is. She
thinks she is probably no place in the life of this man, who is also not
only not in his own house, just as she is not in her own house when
she visits him and in fact doesnt know where this house is but arrives
here as though in a dream, stumbling and falling in the street, but
who is not altogether in his own life anymore and might well also ask
himself, Where am I?
In fact, she wants to call herself a very stupid man. Cant she
say, This woman is a very stupid man, just the way a few weeks
before she thought she had called herself a bearded man? Because if
the very stupid man in the story behaves just the way she herself
would behave or is even right now behaving, cant she consider
herself to be a very stupid man, just as a few weeks ago she thought

deita-se na cama quase vestida enquanto ele deita-se debaixo dos
cobertores depois de se ter levantado cedo para alimentar o gato, e
de ter aberto a lata de comida fez barulho que a intrigou como o leite
espremido da teta de uma vaca para um balde de metal. Ao mesmo
