The Believing Husbands

"The Believing Husbands" is a short story by Andrew Lang set in the land of Erin, where a sharp-minded young husband abandons his weeping family after they dissolve into tears over a misfortune that never actually happened. Vowing not to return until he finds three people equally foolish, he wanders into a nearby town and sets a challenge: a gold ring for the wife who can make her husband believe the most impossible thing. What follows is a gleefully absurd contest of gullibility — a man convinced he is dead, another certain he has clothes on when he has none, and a third who wanders off into the woods unsure he even exists.
