Quoted By:
Once upon a time, there was a village in the Balkan mountains.
One day, a man drove through it with his horse cart and stopped at the village square. Then he yelled out "Trading plums for trash! Plums for trash everybody!".
People wouldn't believe him but one person decided to see if he'll stick to the deal so he brought the man in the horse cart a big bag of trash. The man in the horse cart gave him back a big back of plums. When the villagers saw that, they immediately started bringing all the trash they could find to the man and received big bags of plums in return.
Then at sunset, when everybody had given him his trash, one girl walked up to the cart carrying a small pouch. "Sorry sir, tt's all the trash that I had home. Could you still give me some plums".
That man took pity on her and gave her a few plums in return and left the village. The next day he came back and he took that girl as his wife. Because he knew that if she had no trash to give, that meant she was a good housewife and worthy of being his bride.
The end.
