The Love Letter Once there was a boy who loved a girl very much. The girl’s father, however, didn’t like the boy and did not want their love to grow. The boy wanted to write the girl a love letter, but he was sure that the girl’s father would read it first. At last he wrote the following letter.

The great love I said I have for you is gone, and I find my dislike for you increases every day. When I see you, I do not even like the way you look; the only thing I want to do is to look the other way. I never wanted to marry you. Our last conversation was very dull and in no way has made me anxious to see you again. You think only of yourself. If we were married I know that I would find life very difficult, and I would have no pleasure in living with you. I have a heart to give but it is not a heart I want to give to you. No one is more demanding or selfish than you, and less able to care for me and be of help to me. I sincerely want you to understand that. I speak the truth. You will do me a favour if you consider this the end. Do not try to answer this. Your letters are full of things that do not interest me. You have no true concern for me. Good-bye! Believe me, I do not care for you. Please, do not think I am still your loving friend.
