What is love? What is Marriage?

A student ask a teacher, "what is love ?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question,
go to the padi field and choose the biggest padi and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot
turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, go through first row,
he saw one big padi, but he wonders maybe there is a
bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one...
but may be there is a even bigger one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the
padi field, he start to realise that the padi is not as big as the
previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he ended up going back to the teacher empty handed.
The teacher told him, "...this is love...you keep looking for a better
one, but when later you realise, you have already miss the person...."

" What is marriage then ?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn
field and choose the biggest corn and come back.
But the rule is: "you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to
repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the
middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and come back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn....
you look for one that is just nice, and you have
faith and believe this is the best one you get..this is marriage ."
