Once upon a time, there was a girl and a guy who loved each other.

She lived by the river with her

mother. The girl and the guy wanted to move out, and they decided to meet next morning at the other
side of the river. It was agreed that if the girl isn’t there, it’s a sign that she doesn’t truly love the guy —
he would leave forever, never to return.

On the evening before leaving, the girl went to the ferryman, the only person who could get her across
the river. The ferryman said he would take her to the other side of the river only if she slept with him.
Dispirited, the girl returned home to her mother and asked her for advice. Her mother showed
understanding but didn’t provide advice.

The girl decided to take the deal and slept with the ferryman. Next morning, she met her lover at the
other side of the river. When her lover learned that she slept with the ferryman to get to the other side
of the river, he decided to break up with her. The girl and the guy had a friend, who heard the story and
saw the confrontation. The friend then slapped the guy for breaking up with the girl.
