There was once a clever matchmaker. She could find a suitable partner for anyone, even if they had flaws. Everyone called her Ms. Perfect Match Yeh.

One day, a wealthy young man with legs of unequal length came to ask the matchmaker for her help. Ms. Yehthought to herself, “Yesterday, a one-eyed girl from the neighboring village asked me to find her a husband. They would be perfect for each other!” However, she spoke nothing of their flaws. She told the young man with the unequal legs, “As the saying goes, ‘Marriages are made in heaven! One can never escape one's destiny’ What a coincidence! A beautiful and virtuous girl from the neighboring village asked me to find her a husband! You would be lucky to marry her.” The young man replied, “But if she sees my unequal legs, would she be willing to marry me? Ms. Yeh said, “Leave it to me, on the day of the matchmaking, put your shorter leg on the door threshold, And she won't notice.” Ms. Perfect Match Yeh also told the one-eyed girl to pretend to be shy, and hide half of her face behind the door.

On the day of the matchmaking, both the girl and the young man did as the matchmaker instructed. Upon seeing the girl, the young man thought to himself, “What a beautiful and virtuous girl!” The one-eyed girl also fell for the handsome young man. To prevent the two from blaming her after finding out about each other's flaws, Ms. Perfect Match Yehsaid in a serious tone, “Marriage is a solemn decision. Take a good look at each other. Let the three of us bear witness with our five eyes, that there would be no complaints in future about legs of unequal length!”

However, the couple were so smitten by each other, they didn't pay attention to what the matchmaker said.

The couple finally saw each other's flaws on the day of the wedding, and they felt cheated. But Ms. Perfect Match Yeh reminded them, “Didn't I say ‘Let the three of us bear witness with our five eyes, that there would be no complaints in future about legs of unequal length‘? I already told you about each other's flaws, it was you who didn't notice.” She told the couple, “Appearance is not the most important quality in a marriage. Your marriage will be blissful if you learn to love and respect each other.” The couple realized that they both had flaws, so, they held hands and went on to lead a happy life together.

從前有一位很會作媒的婦人，就算是有缺點的人，她都能幫忙找到合適的對象結婚，所以大家都叫她「葉巧婆」。

有一天，一位家境不錯，不過卻長短腳的年輕人來找她作媒，葉巧婆心想：「昨天隔壁村的獨眼小姐也找我作媒，兩人湊成一對，一定可以皆大歡喜。」不過，絕不能實話實說，便對長短腳說：「哎唷！俗話說的好『姻緣天注定！來的時候，躲都躲不掉。』一點都不假。這麼巧，鄰村的小姐也找我作媒呢！人漂亮又賢慧，娶到的人好福氣。」長短腳卻擔心：「知道我長短腳後，她還會想嫁給我嗎？」葉巧婆說：「包在我身上，相親時你把腳放在門檻上，就不會被發現。」葉巧婆也要獨眼小姐假裝害羞躲在門邊，只露出半邊臉。

相親當天，兩人照著葉巧婆交代的方法做，長短腳看到小姐後，心想：「好美麗又賢慧的小姐。」獨眼小姐也看上英俊大方的長短腳。葉巧婆怕日後兩人知道真相會責怪她，故意嚴肅地對他們說：「婚姻是終身大事，不可兒戲，你們要仔細看清楚，我們可是『三人五目』，日後不要有『長短腳話』喔！」兩人看得目不轉睛，那聽得出話中有話。

到了洞房花燭夜當天，才發現對方的缺點，兩人跑去找葉巧婆理論，葉巧婆說：「我那天提到過『三人五目』，就是說三個人中有一個人是獨眼，也提到以後不可有『長短腳話』，是你們沒有發現的。」接著又安慰他們說：「外貌不是最重要的，只要能相親相愛，彼此尊重，自然會幸福美滿。」兩人聽完後，也明白各自都有缺點，就手牽著手回家了。
