The Dilemma of the Ideal Partner

(Originally in English)

A young man who was very depressed asked his

best friend for advice. He said, "I want to have

a wife so much. You know, I am already very old,

and I need a wife. I want to have a wife so much,

but I have not had one up till now. What can I do?

Every woman I bring home, my mother does not

like." So his friend said, "Oh! That's easy.

You just have to look for a woman who

looks like your mother." So the friend said,

"Yes, I did, but then my father did not like her!"
