A girl was bringing water on a wide road. A young madcap stopped and said to the girl, Give me from your cold water. The girl answered, Wait, wait. Let's go home and ask my mother when she was young, young like me, did she give water to the bachelors? If she gave water to the bachelors, I will give. |
