The Two Intelligent Person of The Village

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.

“The stupid but honest man is always appreciated.
The intelligent but crooked man is always hated."
