“11th story”
First published; Oct.26.2017
Once upon a time,
there was a girl who was so beautiful that every single man in the country wished to marry her.
All the richest men visited her to ask for her hand in marriage, but the beautiful girl had to know if they loved her or just wanted to have her for her beauty. Therefore, she always tested the men with her one special question.
She constantly rejected them because she believed none of these men loved her truly as none of them passed the test she planned. The men kept the test a secret because they didn’t want the next person to win her.
One day a young man insisted that he was the one and he would gain her trust.
He wanted her so much and believed he would easily pass the test. She invited him to her home and asked him to sit where he couldn’t see the entrance door.
She asked him why she should marry him.
He explained how he fell in love with her when he heard everyone in the country talking about her beauty. He said: “I would fight to have you and to show you that I love you not just for your beauty.”
The girl said: “If you are here for my beauty, you better see my sister. She is the most beautiful member of my family. Look at the entrance door.”
The young man turned toward the door to see the girl’s beautiful sister.
There wasn’t anyone at the door.
The girl stood up and asked him to leave. She said: “If you were in love with me you wouldn’t turn your head back to see my beautiful sister. I don’t have a sister. I was just trying to see if you truly love me. But like others, you only love whoever people say is the most beautiful girl.”
Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.
We men are such fools… 🙂
lol, I am sure not all of men.

can I ask you a question, Jack?
have you had tecnical issues with wordpress before? It’s been 4 days that I can not follow blogs and wordpress has such a poor customer service!!!!!
No, not for many months…
oh,thanks
I have been quite successful in contacting customer service and find it unfortunate you’re having a problem. Have you tried clearing your browser? Here is a WordPress link relating to following blogs and hopefully it will be helpful. Of course, since you posted this in Oct, you may have resolved your problem by now https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/ 😉
You are very kind. They really are not helpful at all. I paid $50 and am waiting for it to be fixed. I will try your way as well. Thanks for your help.🙂
Sorry Eugenia, is it too silly to ask how can clear my WordPress browser? Is that what you mean?
I meant to clear your browser, for example there is a clearing function for any browser such as Google, Firefox, etc. Sometimes that will clean up any menacing information that is in the computer’s memory.
Lol
Yes that is clear
So beautiful
Thanks Hady jaan 😍
Lovely story. I think there are some men who doesn’t run behind beauty only☺
The smart ones lol. Inner beauty is
first then real beauty will show itself.
Yes indeed!!!
☺️
What a wise story, dear Laleh! And so true! Too many men are obsessed with the package, let’s say so.
Lol you’re absolutely right. It takes a real man to see inner beauty.
🙂
Excellent story .
Thanks Anne.😊
Besides how ever those men reacted, to me the clue of the story is that this girl is very smart and wise.
U got that right. If we all could be as strong as she. Lol
A very good story, and I think I’d pass the test ok, because when asked to turn and look at the “beautiful sister” I wouldn’t be able to, my neck is so very sore at the moment, and thus I can’t turn to look…..hehe…
😂😂😂😂😂so funny.
Hi Laleh, thank you for reading so many of my poems, I so appreciate your interest in my writings, and I hope you enjoyed my words. Cheers

A lovely story that sends a worthy message, Laleh.

I logged on this morning to find that you had ‘liked’ several of my recent posts, Thank you so much. I have enjoyed reading this one f yours and will now explore further.
Thanks so much 🙂
Great story, Laleh. Very clever. I had about four days of problems with my internet service recently but it seems to have straightened out now. I thought perhaps it was a satellite problem. It affected all the programs on my computer. —- Suzanne
I am glad it’s fixed now.

Men will be men. 😁
😂😂😂 thanks for reading and commenting dear.❤️

As always a very interesting story and one that certainly bubbles the mind. She is indeed wise in her approach. Maybe in a another story she may realise the flaw’s we carry which take us away from total and perfected love. And that in that other story he got to lay out his imperfections and vulnerabilities. Hopefully she would have then accepted his love. Who knows.
Lol a very nice perspective, thanks dear.🌹
He must be crying now that he failed her test… good lesson
Lol, men.😂 thank you dear.🌹
Powerful! I love this.

If he truly loved her, he wouldn’t have looked at the door. Her heart is what he needed to know, to see the most beautiful things a man needs, to be truly in love!
Exactly-thank you Warren.🌷
