Text: English translation and original Japanese

112. Amiability First of All One day, Oyasama told Yoshie Iburi: "Dear Yoshie, amiability is required of women first of all. Cheerfully to answer, 'Yes', to whatever one is told, is of prime importance." She added: "Do not do anything that would waste another person's life. "Do not waste even a single vegetable leaf. "Leftovers will nourish you. It is not gluttony."

一一二　一に愛想 教祖が、ある日、飯降よしゑにお聞かせ下された。 　 「よっしゃんえ、女はな、一に愛想と言うてな、何事にも、はいと言うて、明るい返事をするのが、第一やで。」 　 又、 　 「人間の反故を、作らんようにしておくれ。」 　 「菜の葉一枚でも、粗末にせぬように。」 　 「すたりもの身につくで。いやしいのと違う。」 と。
