Upon hearing this, the woman began weeping, her cries awoke her father. Upon hearing from his daughter what Rabbi Yossi had just recited, the innkeeper began weeping as well. Rabbi Yossi inquired about their crying asking them if perhaps they were distressed that the woman's husband, was not knowledgeable in Torah. The innkeeper responded that this was the reason and that's why there were crying.

The innkeeper recited how one day while praying in the Beit Knesset he witnessed the young lad leap off the roof the adjacent building in order to join the Minyan in time for the reciting of the Kadish. Impressed by the great self sacrifice and assuming the lad was also G-D fearing, knowledgeable in Torah and had refined character traits, the innkeeper offered him on that day to marry his daughter, although he had never met the boy before or knew anything about him. Only after the wedding did they discover that the boy was a complete ignoramus that could not even recite the Shima or the Birchat Hamazon blessing. Attempts by the innkeeper to himself teach his son-in-law or hire Torah scholars to tutor him resulted in failure and he sadly resigned to the fact that his daughter had married an ignoramus.
