Long time ago, a poor man borrowed some money from a rich old man but was to pay it back.
One day, the old man decided to make an with the man. He said he would put pebbles into a bag. One was white and the was black. The man's daughter would have to pick out a pebble. If she picked the black one, the man wouldn't have to give back the money, but the old man would marry her daughter. If it was white, the man wouldn't have to return the money, and his daughter wouldn't have to marry him .
While the old man was picking up the pebbles in his garden, the daughter him put two black pebbles into the bag. The old man then asked the daughter a pebble from the bag. The daughter took out one, but she dropped it in the garden , mixing with other colorful pebbles. She said to the old man, "How of me! But if you look at the one in the bag, you will know my choice. "
Of course, the pebble left in the bag was black. In order not to let people know his bad behavior (行为), he had to play along as if the pebble the daughter had dropped was white. From then on, he didn't ask the man for the money anymore.
