The Vanity of the Rat Y.

T Pyun

In Korea, it was formerly the custom for parents to arrange their childrens marriages. Mr. and Mrs. Rat were anxious for their darling daughter Rena to marry into a respectable family. From the first, They had thought that Mr. Sun was the most high-stationed and well-descended person they knew. But when they are ask a marriage to Mr. Sun, he refused the offer and recommended Mr. Cloud. When Mr. Cloud heard about their offer, he too was not eager to choose as his a wife from the House of Rats. And as Mr. and Mrs. Rat heard about Mr. Wind, they offered again the marriage, but Mr. Wind was not anxious to be Mr. Rat's son-in-law so he then suggested Mr. Wall. Mr. Rat offered the marriage again for his daughter but, as likewise, he refused and apologized. Until they realized that the only man who can marry Rena is another rat; Roger Rat. And so Roger Rat agreed about having the marriage offer by Mr. Rat. Mr. and Mrs. Rat were very bit as pleased as Rena and Roger were about the arrangement. And Mr. Rat was convinced that he had made the best possible match for his darling daughter.
