Many years ago, there lived an old man and woman on a small farm. The two had known each other since they were young, had married, and lived together for many years. It did not matter to either that they lived in poverty, owned very little, or were old and wrinkled, as long as they had each other. When the old couple went into town, onlookers would gaze at them and see only the love and patience the two had for each other. Everything was seemingly perfect.
