Pretending

Then he said that it was just a test of strength and it is a rule of the tribe that whosoever wishes to marry the princess of the tribe shall go through the test. So i objected that I never wanted to go through the test. Then the old man told me that it is a rule that only the husband or future husband of the princess is allowed to take a bath in the stream and you bathed in it and now that you have already passed the test now you shall marry the princess. But i was thinking that I'm going to leave this body in a few days and it i marry the princess now she will become widow in a few days. So i told the old man to stay here for a few days and told him to wait for the marriage date till half a month. They agreed on that. After that as i paid attention to the map I saw that the tribal village was in the route of the map and the treasure was indicated towards the outer side of the village in the dense forests. So i asked a person to show me around at the village and as he showed me around we reached the end of the village which was the beginning of the forest. Then as he started going back to the village I asked him what about the forests?Why don't we go in the forests?He told me that going to forest is banned due to presence of dangerous monsters and it is said that ghosts wander there at night. I was laughing at him in my mind as I'm a modern person and who would believe that?.....
