The rich man's family had a rule from their ancestor which described only son can inherit all of the family possessions otherwise the property would be distributed to their relatives. In order to let his only daughter inherit his possesion, the rich man dressed her daughter as a boy after she was born.

Before the boy's leaving, the girl was tired a couple of time to show him that she was a girl by letter, but the boy was too honest and tolerant to figure out the truth.
