The promise I made to you



One day Saeed was with his family. He is 22 years old, and his family was talking about marriage, but he did not agree with his family. After weeks he would go home and hear his sister talking about a girl, Nora, praising him, but he didn't care much. But since it became something usual, he became curious about the girl. He loved her without seeing her, so he decided to marry her.


He went to propose to the girl but the family did not agree, because Saeed did not have servants, a house, or enough money. He just told them to wait for him and he will come again and marry her. So, Saeed traveled and worked in the army and received a good job. After many years of working outside the country, he came back and he had wealth, servants, and money as if he was the property of a city. So he became happy at the age of 27. He went to Nora’s house and did not find her family. He asked the neighbor and the relatives, and here the shock came to him that Nora got married!


He cried a little, but he did not give up, so he asked the relatives, they told him that she lives in the city of light or the city of glory, so he went to the city of glory. Because the city was closer. He visited the king and the village. He said to them, if someone can complete this phrase, I will give you all my wealth. This phrase he used to say to Nora every night when they were calling each other.

"Did I ask you about the brightness of the moon and how low its light is?"


But the village did not know the answer, so he went to the city of light. He arrived at the king and told the village that if I completed the phrase, I would give you my fortune he said. In the village, a man went to his wife and said to her, a man came to us with great wealth, he said, ‘If you complete the phrase, I will give you my fortune, “when he told her the phrase she smiled and knew that this is Saeed”.


She told him to say, "Like the fish without the sea, how do you live?"

And he went to Saeed and said, "Like fish without the sea and how he lives".

So, Saeed smiled and knew that this is Nora’s husband and gave him his fortune.
