Never Trust People’s Opinion|هرگز به نظر مردم اعتماد نکنید


“224th story”

Once upon a time, there was a young man who loved a girl and wanted to marry her and start a new life.

The young man’s parents advised him to ask around, her neighbors, and relatives to know more about her. It is very important to ask others before you step forward.

The young man started searching around to know the girl, better.

Unfortunately, the result wasn’t good, and everyone had too many bad things to say about that girl. The young man was very disappointed and was thinking to just forget about that girl when he saw a wise man passing by.

The wise man saw a sad young man and asked: “What is bothering you my son?”

The young man explain his situation and how disappointed he is of the girl he thought was going to build a future with.

The wise man said: “Why worry at all, I have beautiful daughters you can marry one of them if you wish, but first go and ask people about my daughters and come back to me and tell me their honest opinion.”

The young man agreed and started searching around and asking about the wise man’s daughters. He then came to the wise man and said: “Unfortunately, I can’t marry any of your daughter’s because people told me that they are, known as very bad girls, liars, rude, mean and aggressive.”

The wise man invited the young man into his house. It was a very simple place and an old woman welcomed him into the house. 

The wise man said: “We have been married for fifty years and never could have a child. I don’t have any daughters, and people say bad things about them. Go and marry the girl you love, and never trust people’s opinion.”

Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.
