A student asks a teacher: "What is love?"

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

The student went to the field, went through the first row, he saw one big paddy, but he wondered whether there is a bigger one or not. Not long, he saw another bigger paddy... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he started to realize that the paddy was not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he ended up went back to the teacher empty-handed. The teacher told him, that's love... you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realized, you have already missed the person.

The student asked: "What is marriage then?"

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."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and went back to 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.... that is marriage.
