The next day, a farmer came around. He was poor and lazy, but he was young and popular among many people for being a great talker. He came determined to win. The girl served him many fruits and asked him to eat and go away.

When he was served, he refused to eat. The girl waited painfully. Midday passed, and then two o’clock. At four o’clock, the farmer asked for water.

The girl prayed that he would eat the fruit, but she was still praying when the clock turned to seven. This farmer had overcome the test of endurance set by the parents!
