Story 3
There was a man with four wives. He loved his
fourth wife the most and took a great care of her and gave her the best
He also loved his third wife and always wanted
to show her off to his friends. However, he was always had a fear that she
might runaway with some other man
He loved his second wife too. Whenever he
faced some problems, he always turned to his second wife and she would always
help him out
He did not love his first wife though she
loved him deeply, was very loyal to him and took great care of him. One day the
man fell very ill and knew that he is going to die soon
He told himself, "I have four wives with
me. I will take one of them along with me when I die to keep company in my
death." Thus, he asked the fourth wife to die along with him and keep
company. "No way!" she replied and walked away without another word
He asked his third wife. She said "Life
is so good over here. I'm going to remarry when you die". He then asked
his second wife. She said "I'm Sorry. I can't help you this time around.
At the most I can only accompany you till your grave." By now his heart
sank and he turned cold
Then a voice called out: "I'll live with
you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The man looked up and there
was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from
malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the man said, "I should have taken much
better care of you while I could have!" Actually, we all have four wives
in our lives
a. The fourth wife is our body. No matter how
much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we
die
b. The third wife is our possession, status
and wealth. When we die, they go to others
c. The second wife is our family and friends.
No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest
they can stay by us is up to the grave
d. The first wife is our soul, neglected in
our pursuit of material wealth and pleasure. It is actually the only thing that
follows us wherever we go."
