In this story, the governor bets his property and the official his wife on the governor's riddles. The official's wife faces the problem that she is the object of the bet. In this kind of stories, usually the wife's child confronts the governor about the bet. But in this story, the wife herself faces the governor. The wife is inferior to the governor in some respects such as sexes and social classes. The governor's riddles has two types of characteristics. The first is that he asks the questions no one, including the governor himself, can answer. The second is that his questions cause sexual discourse by mentioning sexual organs. The wife solves the first type of riddles by telling things based on her actual experiences. Then answers the second type by substituting men's sexual organs for the animals'. By doing so, she eliminates the sexual significance and neutralizes the implication. However, this story is usually told by men. Thus the images of women in this story can reflect the women's images that men have. To begin with, this story is written in masculine view in that they bet on a woman. But the woman in this story solves her problem for herself. Also, the wife's speaking strategy has two aspects of women. So it shows dualism. It reveals men's attitude toward women that she solves riddles through experiences. Men think women lack reasoning skills so only through experiences can women make their standpoint clear. But contrary to men's thought, this indicates women's experiences can be a resistance discourse. Substituting men's sexual organs for the animals' also shows men's view that sex is a taboo subject for women. But her using animals' organs means women can regard men's organs as things. So it can be a resistance discourse that warns men not to think of women's sex as things. In this respect, the woman in 『The Bet Story between a Local Governor and an Official's Wife』 has not only the negative aspect but the affirmative aspect of women.
