Hello everyone. Here is a story that I want to share with you. But this story has a problem to solve. I haven't been able to solve it so far.
I tell the story.
There were three men who loved one single girl.
One man came for the first time and proposed to marry the girl and if she accepted he would do all that she wanted.
The second man came and said to the girl " Without you I can't live my dear. Please marry me"
The third man also came and said to her " For you I can do whatever. Even killing myself"
The three guys showed how much they loved the girl.
The girl's parents being really confused said to the three men to come the next day. The one who'll come first will marry their daughter.
The next day, they all came together. But unfortunately the girl had died the night before.
One of the men killed himself and fell near the girl's body.
They burnt the two bodies.
Another guy gathered the cash and said he will protect it till he dies. The last one said he will walk till he dies.
The guy walked walked and walked thousand kilometers. He came to a village scorching. He asked to have water to drink. A young boy brought him water.
But the boy's mother was a very mean lady. When she noticed her son had given water to someone, she slapped her son and he died at once.
The man so touched said to the lady " My dear, you only killed your son because he gave me water?"
The man took a cloth and wrapped the boy's dead body. But all of a sudden the boy came back to life.
The guy remembered at once about the girl he wanted to marry.
He then went back running day and night.
When he got there he found the guy who held the ash since the girl had died.
He wrapped the ash and surprisingly the girl and the man who killed himself woke up.
This is the end of the story.
By the way who should normally marry the girl?
I'm waiting for your answers.

I agree with Arif. Who are we to decide on behalf of her? Only love, which whelms her heart, has the final word. From my experience I can tell: There are people we can’t fall in love with them even if they sacrificed everything they have to gain our hearts. I guess love is like a birthday cake, so everyone likes to have his or her share. God bless you.
who are we to decide who should marry the girl :D. she has the authority to select any of them :) However, I would suggest her to marry the man who gives life to her.
Okay, let's follow Peony's lead and try to answer this in a well mannered way. Sure, Rose and OM did too. I was the only one who was trying to make fun of the situation but I will explain later why. - When I make this story a theoretical construct which could be solved (theoretically) with logic... I'd say she should marry the BOY.
1. The boy, who gives water to a stranger, didn't obey his mother's/parent*s wishes and dies because of the cruelty of his mother.
2. The parents of the girl were also cruel. They said: "The one who'll come first will marry their daughter." They didn't consider her wishes. The next day she is dead, so, as everything in this story is implied I'm just going ahead and implying this: she died for the same reason.
3. Death is usually a metaphor for important change in mythology (for example to overcome yourself you have to die metaphorically).
4. So one could say, they have two things in common. a. Not obeying their parents when it's not beneficial to life. b. Paying the price for following their hearts.
5. Considering which man's behavior could be a clue for a good marriage... I will choose: having the same core values. Also, having been through common experiences is a good thing for mutual understanding. So I'm adding the boy into this equation.
6. Now, I could make a case for the three men as well. Why marrying one of them could make sense... but I've chosen to give a new perspective and also to see things that are most important from my subjective perspective.
Trying to make fun of a situation is my way to deal with cruelty and not taking people's feelings into account. Greetings :)
Yep! And to explain my personal choice: Words and deeds to proof love are not important to me, but living/being love in everyday-life. So that's why I choose this. And, well, she is a girl, he is a boy... they will have some nice chats about being dead and so... give them some time to grow up a lil bit ... and fall in love like it should be... Happy ever after...
Of course, others may disagree with this. It's all very theoretical, right? Have a nice evening! :)
>>>I don't get the drift when it comes to the first man. What the hell on earth has he done? "Another guy gathered the cash and said he will protect it till he dies".
That's the same person. He is gathering the ashes/ash (there is just a typo) and wants to protect "her" till he dies.
Ugh....such a complicated story...
I will go with both: Rose and Nota.
1. Why the girl would get married to anybody she doesn't love.
2. I am from a different culture.
3. Thinking like that some can believe that the guy who stayed with her in a grave could be her husband. But I totally disagree with this. Life goes on. Apart, she didn't love him.
Here is my question, "If you have no answer to this problem...who has then? How will we know who should marry her?"
Waiting for someone to bring the solution to light.
Hmm... dunno. I'd would marry the most handsome guy, preferably with a house in the Hamptons. But, well, I'm from a different culture. ;-D
LOL. Nota....thanks for making me laugh. You never lack a sense of humor. Loved your answer.
Nah, I was dead serious! The good looking guy for me, of course, ... and the money goes to Greenpeace and animal shelters... We are very greedy people in my culture. ;-)
LOL...being deadly frank and serious doesn't stop you from making me laugh. They say laughter makes our life longer. Thanks for gifting me a couple of extra minutes.
