The student asks
a teacher: What is love?
The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the paddy field
and choose the biggest paddy 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 paddy, but
he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger
one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when
he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the
paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the
biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with
empty hand.
The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one, but
when later you realize, you have already miss the person.
The student asked: What is
marriage then? 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 is careful not to repeat the previous
mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium
corn that he feel satisfied, and came 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.
