"Marry me,or else," The landlord made a cut throat motion.

The farmer's daughter was to marry the landlord, or the whole farm would be destroyed, and her entire family would be evicted and homeless.

She hated the pig. She was 25,and he was 34,way too big of an age gap,but if she wanted to save the farm and her family, she would have to marry him. The landlord noticed her hesitation, so he took pity on her,but not too much.

"I will give you one chance. One." He withdrew a small black pouch,then bent down and picked two stones from the rocky path and placed them in the pouch.

"If you pick the Blackstone, you marry me. If you pick the grey stone,you and your father would live here and don't have to pay the rent." He explained.

The farmer's daughter was not stupid,for she saw him pick up two Blackstone's. So whichever one she picks,she will be forced to marry him.

But,she had a plan.
