  A poet once composed a love song and it was wonderful.  He wrote several versions of it and sent them to his friends and acquaintances of both men and womnn .Hedid not forget to send it even to ayoung  woman he  had never seen her except once.. The young woman was living beyond the mountains ..After a day or two days , the young woman sent him an emissary  carrying a message in which she tells him, "  Let me assure you that I was moved and deeply influenced by the love song that you composed for me, I'd you to come now and meet  my father  and my mother. We 'll take measures that the engagement  requires it. "
  The poet wrote a reply to the letter, he told her in the letter, " It wasn't , my friend, but  a love   song ,it comes from the heart of a poet , everyman  sings it for every woman. "  
   The young  woman  wrote to him again saying, "  You are  a wicked lier in your words, I'll stay  from today until the hour of my death hating the poets  because of you.
