“I have fallen in love with you，”he said.“Your beauty is matchless！”

The beauty smiled at him and said，“My sister is not far behind. She has big bright eyes.She is more beautiful than I！”

The man promptIy went the opposite way to look for her sister. However, he only found a doddering old lady on the road.He spitted and went back to the young beauty.

“Actually, mister, you are the one who has cheated me. If you loved me, you would not go searching for another one！”

The man felt embarrassed and walked away.
