A young man said to his father, “I want to marry a girl I saw and I admired her beauty and the charm of her eyes.”
The father replied to him while he was happy and pleased and said: Where is this girl so that I can propose to you, my son????
... ...So when they went and the father saw this girl, he admired her and said to his son: Listen, son, this girl is not of your level and you are not suitable for her. This is deserved by a man who has experience in life and whom you can depend on like me.
The boy was surprised by his father’s words and said to him: No, but I will marry her, father, not you.
They argued and went to the police station to solve the problem, and when they broke up
The officer told them their story. He told them: Bring the girl so we can ask her who she wants, the boy or the father
When the officer saw her and was amazed by her beauty and charm, he said to them: This is not suitable
Rather, it is suitable for a prominent person in the country like me
The three quarreled and went to the minister, and when the minister saw her, he said, “This one.”
Only ministers like me would marry her
They also fought over it until the matter reached the Emir of the town
When they came, he said: I will solve the problem for you. Bring the girl. When the prince saw her, he said: Only a prince like me will marry her.
They all argued
Then the girl said, “I have the solution!! I will run and you will run after me. Whoever catches me first will get me and marry me
She actually ran and the five people ran after her: the young man, the father, the officer, the minister, and the prince
Suddenly, as they were running after her, the five fell into a deep hole, and then she looked
The girl from above looked at them and said: Do you know who I am?
I am the world!!!
I am the one with all the people running behind me and racing to get me and distracting themselves from their religion by following me until they fall into the grave and will not win me. Oh God, protect us from the evil of this world and do not make it our greatest concern or the extent of our knowledge.
