The Five Sisters
A man whose wife died had five daughters, all of whom were of marriageable age. The father wanted to marry his daughters to reassure them. He wanted the eldest to marry first, and then the rest to marry in order.
Four men came to propose to the girls, and they all agreed to the marriage, but the eldest daughter refused to get married and preferred to take care of her father and manage his affairs. The years passed quickly and the daughter grew up and no one came to propose to her. After a period of time, the father became seriously ill and died, leaving behind a will for his daughters to divide the inheritance. The father’s will was that the house should not be sold or divided until after the eldest daughter’s marriage. Unfortunately, the four daughters did not heed the father’s will and sold the house. She did not find the elder sister’s tears to stop the sale of the house; All she had to do was go to the person who bought the house and tell him her story, and he agreed that she would remain in the house until she could find another place to live.
One day, the daughter was sitting in the house alone, sad, and he knocked on the door of the house, and the man was the owner of the new house, so she thought that he would take her out of it; But she was surprised when he told her that he had given up the house to her and offered him a dowry in exchange for her agreeing to marry him. The eldest daughter was very happy and knew that God would not waste her effort with her father, and she lived happily with her husband.
