In General, Jasmine hardly sent him out and thought about her life. She was always told by everyone starting from her father to her boyfriends that she was weak, defenseless, fragile, and that she needed a strong-shoulder or stone-wall-man to live. He would tell her what to wear, what to eat, who and when to give birth, what thoughts to think about - that's an easy game, and all she should care about was just to be beautiful and wise! But that wasn't enough for Jasmine. She wanted to study and go to work, she wanted to have a hobby, she wanted to travel, she wanted to taste the world, not be locked up in an expensive mansion. So once in the morning she packed up what she needed and ran away from home, leaving behind the spoiled princes, her stupid suitors, her father who talked more to the parrot than to her, and the stuffy and cheerless palace.
Today, she teaches oriental languages at the University, and in her spare time takes tap dancing lessons. Occasionally, she receives letters from prison, where her former stone-wall-man asks for cigarettes and photos of naked breasts, but Jasmine, laughing, rolls these letters into airplanes and launches them into the sky.
