Once upon a time, two sailors decided to set out on a voyage around the world to find their destiny. They arrived on their ship on an island where the leader of one of the tribes had two daughters. The eldest daughter was beautiful, and the younger one was not so.
One of the sailors said to the other:
-Finally, I have found my happiness, I will stay here and marry the leader's daughter.
-Yes, you are right. The leader's eldest daughter is beautiful. You have made the right decision. Get married.
-You did not understand me, my friend. I am marrying the leader's younger daughter.
-You have gone crazy. She is not very good.
-Finally, I have found my happiness, I will stay here and marry the leader's daughter.
-Yes, you are right. The leader's eldest daughter is beautiful. You have made the right decision. Get married.
-You did not understand me, my friend. I am marrying the leader's younger daughter.
-You have gone crazy. She is not very good.
-That is my decision.
The sailor continued his journey, hoping to find his happiness, while the other went to the leader. In that tribe, they “paid” for a bride with cows, a good bride was “worth” ten cows.

And so, he brought ten cows to the leader.
-Leader, I want to marry your daughter and I give her ten cows.

-That’s a good choice. My eldest daughter is a peasant girl, and she deserves ten cows. I agree.
-No, leader, you misunderstood. I want to marry your younger daughter.

-No, leader, you misunderstood. I want to marry your younger daughter.
-Are you kidding? But isn’t she that good…
-I want to marry her.
-Okay, but as an honest man, I can’t take ten cows. She doesn’t deserve that much. I will take three cows and no more.
-No, I want to pay exactly ten cows.
And so they got married.
Several years passed. The other sailor was again passing by the same island and decided to visit his friend, to see how he was. He was walking along the shore when he noticed a woman of infinite beauty approaching him.

He asked how to find his friend, and the woman showed him. He comes and sees his friend sitting, children running around.
-How are you doing?
-I am very happy.
The same beautiful woman enters.
-How are you doing?
-I am very happy.
The same beautiful woman enters.
-Meet me. She is my wife.
-No, is this the same woman?
-But how did she change so much?
-And you ask her.
He approached the woman and asked:
-Forgive me for my rudeness, but I remember what you were like...well, not so beautiful. What happened that made you so indescribably beautiful?
-No, is this the same woman?
-But how did she change so much?
-And you ask her.
He approached the woman and asked:
-Forgive me for my rudeness, but I remember what you were like...well, not so beautiful. What happened that made you so indescribably beautiful?
-I just realized one day that I was worth ten cows.
