Think Twice

One day, a boy said to his father: “I have seen a girl and I want to marry her. She is so beautiful with gorgeous eyes”. The father answered his son- ‘that is good, let’s ask for her hand in marriage.’ When the father saw the girl, he admired her beauty and he told his son, “you don’t deserve this girl, she needs someone who has experience in life and she can depend on someone like me.

The boy was surprised by his attitude and told him, “she will marry me not you”. They started a fight and finally they decided both to go to the police station to solve their problem. When they told their story to the police officer, he told them, “bring the girl to decide for herself”.

When the police officer saw the beauty of the girl he told the boy and his father. “You both want to marry her; she only deserves some one with prestige like me”. The three started to fight and decided to go to the minister to iron the issue out. When the minster saw the girl, he said, “She deserves to be married to a minister like me”.

The prince heard their problem and called them to solve it but when he saw the girl, he said: “this girl will marry me”. And all the five men started to fight.

Finally, the girl said: “I have a solution, I will start to run and whoever catches me will be my husband”. When she started to run, the boy, his father, the police officer, the minister, and the prince took after her. Suddenly the five men fell in a deep pit.

She looked at them and said, “do you know who I am? I AM THE TEMPORAL WORLD!!! People want to run to catch me, they are always racing to have me. By doing that, they forget their God, until they end up in their grave and won’t have me……….!!!
