One day a young man who was about to get married came to Hing Shi and asked:
- Teacher, I want to marry, but definitely only a virgin. Tell me, am I acting wisely?
The teacher asked:
- Why specifically on a virgin?
- This way I will be sure that my wife is virtuous.
Then the teacher got up and brought two apples: one whole, and the second bitten. And he invited the young man to try them. He took the whole one, bit into it - the apple turned out to be rotten. Then he took the bitten one and tried it, but it turned out to be rotten. Perplexed, the young man asked:
- So how should I choose a wife?
“With my heart,” answered the Teacher.
