hi friends.read this story yesterday but not sure where to share it so here it goes.

jason is rich old man and he gave john,a poor farmer , some amount of money as loan.but john was not able to pay either the interest or the amount so jason gave him another option.

he said "john i heard you have a beautiful daughter jenny.i am too old to find a girl now so i will marry your daughter and you dont have to pay back the money.what do you say?".

so john went home and told jenny about it.naturally she didnt want to marry an old man so they both went to jason and said that she didnt wanna marry him.

jason was not in the mood to hear any kinda denails so he asked them both to come to the river bank the next day.

the next day john and jenny went to the river and found jason holding a bag.

jason said," look john.i really like your daughter so i am giving you another chance.look at the river bank" john looked down and found they were standing on a pile of stones with different colors.

jason continued,"i will pick a white red stone and a black stone and put it inside the bag.your daughter should put her hand inside the bag and choose a stone.if she choose the black one,she should marry me.if she choose the red one,she dont have to marry me and you dont have to pay me back.if you dont agree to this offer,you better pay be the full amount or else go to jail"

they both agreed.when john was saying this to jenny,jason picked two black stones and put them in the bag.but jenny noticed it.

now she got only 3 options:

1.tell her father that he is having 2 black stones inside the bag but they will still have to pay the money.

2.leave it to fate,marry him and wait for the old fool to die.

3.try something smart.

since she is a rarity among girls,she chose the third one and did something like this.

she put her hand in the bag and took a black stone but before showing it to anyone,she let the stone slip.the stone fell to the ground and mixed with the other stones but nobody can be sure what stone it is so simply said," well sorry for that but dont worry,we have another stone in the bag.if it is a red one,i must have chosen the black one so i will marry him.if it is black then i must have chosen the red one so dont have to pay you back"


end of story.

told you girls this smart are a rarity.
