Question

\(\textbf{Comprehension Passage}\)
It was a chilly winter night. Saint Socrates was preaching his disciples. His wife asked him to end the discourse. Socrates did not oblige her. At midnight she got angry. She took a bucket of water and poured it on him. Socrates was just laughing. But his disciples were annoyed with the preceptress. Socrates told them, "I am a saint who is expected not to lose patience and temper even in precarious situation. My wife tested me and I got success. She is my preceptor. Don't revile her". Having heard this, she fell on the feet of Socrates and begged for his pardon. Since then she became a good wife and a humane woman.
What did his wife do?
