The farmer alone brought the girl-children up .Everyday he went to the fields and worked there . All he got from the fields were spent for his doughters , for he was very affectionate to them 

             When both of them grew up, the farmer wanted to give them in marriage to somebody .  One day , as he wanted, a young farmer came forward in the hope of marrying the farmer s  elder doughter , and accordingly,      he was given  her in marriage .  After a year later of the elder s  marriage a   potter wanated to marry the younger girl, and she was also given to him in marriage. At last, the farmer became alone in his house.                                                    

              One day,the farmer wanted to visit his daughters ,he went to his elder daughter  s  house.  When  he reached there, he saw that she was very happy with her new life. she said that she was happy, but, she had a problem.When the farmer asked what, she said that the rainy season was delaying, and it might cause for their corps to be withered away.
