The people who have occupied the other sofas examined her with fine tooth comb. The woman sitting next to her said, "her complexion is dark, but, we accept the proposal in lue of 25lakhs". A sudden fear descended on her parents' face, as they very well knew it was out of their league. Still with heavy heart they said "Yes". So finally the date of marriage was set. At the day of their marriage everything was set, all was waiting for the bride to come. The bride came, but, "why is she not in her wedding dress?"everyone astounded. She boldly walked towards the weddind ground and said, "the wedding is called off, thank you for coming".
The bridegroom and his relatives were offended from this insolent behaviour of her's and demanded an explanation.
She replied, " this insolent behaviour of mine is nothing in comparison to your's when you asked dowary , to marry me as I was dark complexioned. ignoring all my qualities ".
