​​The Couple and Goddess Discord

Once, a Farmer lived with his Wife in a village. They loved each other and never fought.

One day, God threw out Goddess Discord from Heaven. The Goddess, whose name meant argument and quarrel, caused everybody in Heaven to fight and argue. God knew that if she stayed amongst them, all the people in Heaven would keep fighting.

Thus, Goddess Discord came down to live on the Earth. She entered the Farmer’s house and decided to live in it.

Soon, the couple started fighting over small things. They argued every day and the peace of the house was destroyed. One day, the Man decided to throw his Wife out of the house.

Discord was very happy with her success but God could not see the lovely couple separated. He sent the God of Marriage, Hymen, on Earth to settle the matter.

Hymen went to the couple and explained, “Your relationship is getting spoiled because Discord has entered your house. You should not leave space for any arguments and fights in your relationship.”

The couple understood and threw Goddess Discord out of their house. Since then, both of them lived in peace and harmony.

Discord can spoil all relationships.
