What is love and what is marriage?

Nov 05, 2007 17:43

From an email forward (the grammar is just atrocious):

A student ask a teacher, 'What is love?'

The teacher said, 'In order to answer your question, go to the padi field and choose the biggest padi and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.

'The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big  padi,but he wonders.... maybe there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but maybe there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the padi field, he start to realise that the padi is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted it!!! So,he went back to the teacher with empty-handed.

The teacher told him, "This is love... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have already miss the person..."

'What is marriage then?' the student asked.

The teacher said, 'In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick. 'The student went to the corn field, this time he was careful not to repeat the previous mistake. When he reached the middle of the field, he picked one medium sized corn that he was satisfied with, and went back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, 'This time you bring back a corn... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get. This is marriage.'
