Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune
of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. Th e moneylender,
who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer’s beautiful daughter.
So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer’s debt if
he could marry his daughter.
Both the farmer and his daughter were horrifi ed by the proposal. So
the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide
the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white
pebble into an empty money bag. Th en the girl would have to pick one
pebble from the bag.
If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her
father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she
wouldn't need to marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven.
If she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.
Th ey were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer’s fi eld.
As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As
he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up
two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to
pick a pebble from the bag.
