00:00 In one village there lived a young guy.
00:07 And he was deeply and unrequitedly in love with the first beautiful girl in the whole neighborhood.
00:16 The girl owned the hearts of almost all the young men in the district.
00:20 But she did not give preference to anyone.
00:26 And then the young man decided to become a strong and brave soldier.
00:34 He rose to the rank of an officer, distinguished himself in battles, matured and returned as a hero to his native village.
00:46 But the girl didn't even look in his direction.
00:52 Then the young man in love decided to become rich.
00:58 He entered the merchant service as a bodyguard, studied with him.

01:30 He returned a few years later to his native village, reputed to be a wise man.
01:38 But he did not go to the house of the beautiful girl, but began to live quietly, sharing his wisdom with others.
01:49 Time passed, the girl never got married, considering all the lover proposals unworthy of her beauty.
01:59 But she was no longer young.
02:04 And no one wanted to marry her anymore.
02:10 Left alone, the woman came to the sage.
02:13 She liked the sage's speeches so much that she fell in love with him herself.
02:21 And having plucked up the courage, she asked if he wanted to marry her.

02:34 People were surprised, "Why do you need such a woman as a wife, who, moreover, has done you so much evil?"
02:45 The sage smiled, "If it wasn't for her, I would never have become who I am now."
