00:00This was the most humiliating moment of a man's life.
00:02The widow slapped him across the face with her underwear.
00:06He stared at her with wide, furious eyes.
00:09But he didn't get angry.
00:10Instead, he silently turned and walked away.
00:13Everyone was confused.
00:14The story goes back a few days, though Sarah was a widow.
00:17She was extremely popular in this impoverished mountain village.
00:20All the bachelors in town treated her like a goddess, to win Sarah's favor.
00:24Jack went hunting in the mountains every day.
00:26But precisely because he went so often, he caused a terrible disaster.
00:30An accident resulted in the death of the nude woman's husband, Mark.
00:33Village officials called everyone to the office, to discuss compensation.
00:37Jack seemed impatient.
00:38He said they'd better settle it once and for all, decide how much he owed and be done with it.
00:42Otherwise, if this dragged on, how was he supposed to get married?
00:45Jack's father got angry.
00:53These words suddenly made Mark's wife laugh out loud.
00:56Everyone present was shocked, wondering why she was laughing.
00:59The village official asked for her name.
01:01Being mute, she picked up paper and pen, and wrote two words.
01:04Grace, the handwriting was neat and beautiful.
01:07Everyone was surprised.
01:08A mute woman who wrote so well, had clearly received quite an education.
01:12The official continued, asking how much compensation Jack needed to pay to settle this.
01:16After listening, Grace wrote on the paper, nothing.
01:19This caught Jack off guard.
01:20The village official tried repeatedly to persuade her.
01:23But Grace kept shaking her head.
01:25Writing nothing over and over.
01:26Finally, sixth master, the most respected elder.
