What is the conflict in the story? The Father and His Two Daughters A man had two daughters, the one married to a gardener, and the other to a tile-maker. After a time he went to the daughter who had married the gardener and inquired how she was and how all things went with her. She said, "All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered." Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tile maker, and likewise inquired of her how she fared; she replied, "I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried." He said to her, "If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?" Group of answer choices The man is sad that his daughter is praying for the sun to continue shining hot and bright. The man is sad that his daughter is praying for a heavy rainfall to water her plants. The man should have encouraged his daughters to marry men engaged in the same occupation. The man doesn’t know what to wish for because his daughters want opposite things.

the last one because he is having trouble trying to figure out what he should wish for when his daughters wish for two different things.
