Hundreds of years ago in a small town, a moneylender lent a lot of money to a poor man. The moneylender , who was old and ugly, the poor man’s beautiful daughter. So he came up with an idea. He said the poor man didn’t need to return the money to him he could marry his daughter. Both the man and his daughter were .
The moneylender then told them that he would put a small stone and a small white stone into an empty bag. The girl would have to one. If she took the black stone , she would become the moneylender’s and her father’s debt (债务) would be let go. If she picked the white stone, she didn’t need to marry him and her father’s debt would be let go. Her father would be put into prison if she refused to pick a stone.
As they talked, the moneylender picked up two stones. As he did that, the girl that he had put two black stones in the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her stone from the bag.
The girl thought for a while and then had an idea. She put her hand into the bag and took out a stone. looking at it, she let it fall onto the path where it became lost among all the other stones. “ Oh how I was!” She said, “But never . If you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to which stone I picked.” This tells: Sometimes we can think about things in a way. Most difficult problems do have a solution.
