"Paddy and Corn"

A student asks a teacher, "What is LOVE?

The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, you may go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back. But remember the rule: you can go through them only once and you cannot turn back."

The student went to the field..go through the first row. He saw a big paddy. But, he wonders.."May be there is the bigger one later." Then, he saw another big one paddy. But, may be there is even bigger one waiting for him.

After a few momment, he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw. Now, he knew that he has missed the biggest one, thus he regretted. So, he decided to end up his journey to find the biggest paddy. He came back with nothing on his hand. Then, he teacher told him, ".....this is LOVE....you keep looking for a better one, but later you realize that you missed the person even you didn't know who is better."

"What is MARRIAGE then?" asked the student.

The teacher said, " In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick another corn."

The student went to the corn field, this time he was very careful. He don't want to repeat the previous mistake. Then, when he reach in the middle of the corn field, he has picked one medium corn that he feels satisfied. he came back to see the teacher.

The teacher told him, "....this time you bring back a corn... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the BEST one you get....so, this is MARRIAGE."
