The Two Intelligent Person of The Village

There were two intelligent persons living in the same village. Both were very intelligent and clever. But one was a man, another was a woman. 

One day, the intelligent woman had to marry a man. In those days, the parent arranged the marriage and their children had no right to refuse. The groom was a man that her parent chose to be her husband. They were engaged since they were very young. The intelligent woman did not agree to marry this man because he was very stupid, not as intelligent as her.  

When the wedding day came, the intelligent woman could not marry the stupid man. So, at night, she went out to commit suicide by jumping into the river. The intelligent woman learned from the text that a beautiful and intelligent woman marrying a stupid man was like a beautiful flower on buffalo dung. 

The intelligent man saw that the intelligent woman went out and was very sad. He knew immediately that she was going to commit suicide. So, he ran quickly to stop her. 

The intelligent man arrived the river before the intelligent woman did. He disguised himself as the old man bailing the water out of the river. Once the intelligent woman arrived the river, it was already dark, so she could not clearly see the intelligent man. She thought he was an old man. She saw that he was bailing the water out of the river. She was amazed so, she asked “Why are you bailing the water out”  

The intelligent man disguised his voice as that of old man and said “I want to cross to the other side, but I have no boat. I have to bail the water out until gets dry so that I can cross to the other side.”  

When the intelligent woman heard the intelligent man’s words, she thought that even though her groom was stupid but there were a lot people stupider than him. So, she turned back home and did not want to commit suicide anymore. The intelligent woman married the stupid man. Her husband was a good man. He was a good child of his parent. Although he was not intelligent, she lived with him happily. 

This story teaches you that
“The stupid but honest man is always appreciated.
The intelligent but crooked man is always hated.”
