One day a beautiful woman was walking along the road. A man followed her. Turning around, the beauty asked him:
-Why are you following me, stranger?
- I am in love with you, oh fairest of the fair! The woman smiled and said:
- My sister is following me. Her eyes are black as the night sky. She is ten times more beautiful than me!
The man was delighted and ran back. He ran and ran and saw: an old, old old woman trudged along the road. He even spat out of anger and rushed after the young beauty. He caught up with her and said:
- Why did you deceive me?
- No, it was you who deceived me, stranger! If you really loved me, you wouldn't run to another woman!
The man felt ashamed, and he went his way.
