Sophia was preparing to marry a wealthy man when she discovered that she still loved Michael, her childhood friend.<\/p>\n

Michael had remained in their village.<\/p>\n

He had little money.<\/p>\n

Sophia’s family rejected him.<\/p>\n

But she refused the arranged marriage.<\/p>\n

She left her comfortable life.<\/p>\n

Together, she and Michael started a small farm.<\/p>\n

The first years were difficult.<\/p>\n

Their crops failed twice.<\/p>\n

They nearly lost everything.<\/p>\n

But they stayed together.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the farm succeeded.<\/p>\n

Sophia’s father visited one afternoon.<\/p>\n

He looked at the fields.<\/p>\n

Sophia smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked at Michael.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose something worth keeping.\u201d<\/p>\n
