The Greatest Bridegroom

The Greatest Bridegroom

Long, long ago, a mole couple’s daughter, Mollie, was ready to marry. In the mole village, Moler was the best available bridegroom. However, Father Mole and Mother Mole were not satisfied with him. “ Isn’t there a better bridegroom?” asked Mollie’s mother. “ Our Mollie must marry the greatest bridegroom, ” said her father.

Father Mole and Mother Mole discussed the matter. “ Who do you think is the greatest of all?” Father wondered aloud. “ I think the sun is the greatest, ” Mother answered. Father Mole went to the sun.

” Gosh! It’s so hot! Sun, are you the greatest of all?” he asked. “ No, I’m not. When the cloud comes and covers me, I can’t even show my face. The cloud is the greatest, ” the sun replied. “ Oh, I see. Thank you. ” Father Mole went to see the cloud. “ Oh my, it’s so dark!

Cloud, are you the greatest of all?” he asked. “ No, I’m not. When the wind comes, I’m blown away in seconds. The wind is the greatest, ” replied the cloud. “ Oh, I see. Thank you. ” Father Mole went to see the wind. “ Oh my, I’m about to be blown away! Wind, you are the greatest of all, right?” he asked hopefully.

“ No, I’m not. There is someone who doesn’t blow away even when I blow my hardest, ” said the wind. “ Is that true?” asked Father Mole. “ Mr. Mole, if you are looking for thegreatest, go to the Buddha statue, ” advised the wind.
