Un cuento enigmático: read the book with parallel translation into English

Tres mujeres fueron convertidas en flores y colocadas en el campo del jardín, pero a una de ellas le fue permitido que durante las noches podía estar en su casa como humana. Entonces, una noche, cuando ya se acercaba el día y tendría que volver a ser flor otra vez, ella le dijo a su esposo: "Si cuando vuelves más tarde vienes al jardín y me arrancas, quedaré libre y podré estar siempre contigo." Y él así lo hizo. Ahora, la pregunta es: ¿Cómo supo el esposo cuál era la flor correcta, si todas se veían exactamente igual, sin ninguna diferencia en su forma?
Three women were changed into flowers which grew in the field, but one of them was allowed to be in her own home at night. Then once when day was drawing near, and she was forced to go back to her companions in the field and become a flower again, she said to her husband: "If thou wilt come this afternoon and gather me, I shall be set free and henceforth stay with thee." And he did so. Now the question is, how did her husband know her, for the flowers were exactly alike, and without any difference?
Respuesta: "Como ella pasaba la noche en su casa y no en el jardín, no había entonces rocío sobre ella como sí lo había sobre las otras, y así el esposo supo cuál era la que debía tomar."
Answer: "As she was at her home during the night and not in the field, no dew fell on her as it did on the others, and by this her husband knew her."
