One
day, a very rich man announced in a party that if any person present
in the party dares to swim across the swimming pool which has more
than twenty crocodiles, he will be awarded with either half of the
rich man's property or his beautiful daughter.
After a period of
silence, the rich man saw a young man splashed into the pool swimming
as fast as he can, with all his efforts, saving himself from the
crocodiles.
And at last, he survived through the pool.
Everybody
started clapping.
The rich man was overjoyed with the young man's
bravery.
He congratulated him and then asked what do you want, my
property or daughter.
To this, the man replied, "Sir, neither I
want your property, nor your daughter, I just want the man who threw
me in the water."
