A greengrocer of Benares had a pretty Tochter who was always laughing. Before agreeing to give her in marriage, her father wished to test her virtue, lest she should bring disgrace on his name. He took her into the forest und whispered to her words of love. When she expressed her horror, he was convinced of her innocence und agreed to the marriage. The Bodhisatta was a Treesprite und witnessed the incident. The story was related to a greengrocer in Sāvatthi who treated his Tochter in a similar way. He later visited the Buddha und told him the story. The characters were identical in both cases. J.i.411f.
