晚上他回家，刚走到家门口，他的奶奶就高兴地跑出来问他：“你什么时候找了一个这么漂亮的女朋友？” 这个男人不知道发生了什么，他和他的奶奶回了家，推开门，发现有一个长得非常好看的女人站在桌子右边。奶奶笑着说：“这位美女说你们马上就要结婚了！真是太好了！” 美女走到男人面前说：“ 我就是你白天救的那只猫，为了报答你，我会成为你的太太。但是现在我会问你一个问题，我们三天以后结婚的时候你再告诉我你的想法。“ 男人点了点头。美女又说：“我的能力不够，变成美女的样子没那么长时间。要么白天是美女，晚上不美。要么晚上是美女，白天不美。这个你来选择。” 男人说：“你这么好看，不美也比很多人都好看，不用担心。” 他的话刚说完，他发现面前坐着一个老巫婆，她不仅长得难看，而且声音很难听，并且还很臭。男人吓得坐在了地上。老巫婆问：“现在你还觉得我好看吗？”男人没说话。然后老巫婆又变回了美女，对他说：“你好好想想，我们三天后结婚见！”
