I like clever, young people, Paul. I like you. You understand, don't you?(p.30)
Is it possible for a poor man to marry a rich woman? I think that it isn't important whether they are rich or not. All people can marry freely. However, in this story, it's not so easy.
A man, Paul, met a beautiful girl, Maria, one day. As he sees her, he loved her. She was a rich girl who lived on the hill, but he was very poor. After days, he told her his feeling, and she also had the same feeling with him. However, a few days later, when he said to her "I love you.", she started to run away. Why? It was because of her mother. She was so hard and cold. She didn't admit him to marry her daughter. At last, she married a fat, old, but rich man. He couldn't understand that situation. Then, he decided to win a prize by writing a poem, and he actually, made the dream come true! Then, he started to look for Maria. He finally met her, but...
I think that it is free for people to marry someone who loves them. However, it's not a problem not only for them. Their parents are also worrying them...
