The sage was very happy and asked the Lord of clouds to marry his daughter. But the girl refused, saying, “ How can I marry a dark person like him. I am so beautiful and he is so dark. I am also very scared of the thunder he generates.”

The sage was very disappointed and asked the clouds if they could suggest a suitable groom to his daughter. The clouds said, “ The Lord of Wind can make a good match for your daughter as he can even blow me away.”

The sage was very happy and prayed for the lord of Wind. The sage asked the wind to marry his daughter. But again the girl refused to marry the wind and said, “ O Father How can I marry such a slender person. The wind doesn't stay in one place, it always keeps moving.”

The sage was very upset and asked the wind if he could suggest a suitable groom for his daughter. The lord of wind said, “ Probably Lord of Mountain could be the perfect match. He is strong and stays at one place. He can also easily stop the strong wind blows.”

The sage prayed to the lord of Mountain and asked if he could marry his daughter. But the girl again refused to marry a mountain saying, “ I cannot marry a mountain as he is too cold and keeps blowing cold winds.” She asked her father to find a softer groom for her.

The sage who was very tired asked the mountain if he could find a suitable groom for her. The mountain said, “ Marry your daughter to a mouse as he is soft and can also make holes in the mountains.”

The girl at once agreed to marry a mouse. The sage said. “ This is your destiny my daughter. You came as a mouse and destined to marry a mouse.” Saying so the sage changed his daughter into a mouse again. Both of them lived happily ever after. 

Moral: No one can change the destiny of the person.
