You know the dilemma folktale type where four men create a woman? Carpenter carves her, tailor dresses her, jeweler makes her jewelry, scholar brings her to life. And then they fight about who gets to marry her.

Well I just found a Tamil version where the woman dumps all four of them, saying they should care about her own qualities, and not bicker about who did what for her.

And then she goes to the king and requests a proper husband.

Win.
