Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Once upon a time , a King had four wives. He loved his fourth wife the most and showered her with all the expensive jewellery and clothing he possessed. His third wife, he loved a little lesser, but gave her good amount of attention and often showed her off to other kingdoms. The second wife, he loved her even lesser, but she was his confidante and he sought her help whenever he was in trouble, as she was patient and calm with him. The first wife , he loved the least even though she loved him with all her heart. He neglected her even though she cared the most about him. One day, the king realized that he was dying soon of a fatal disease. He thought " Now I have four wives. But when I die I will be all alone." and was terrified at the thought. So he decided to ask his wives to accompany him after his death. When he asked his fourth wife, she said "No ways!! I can't leave all these riches and come with you after your death!!!" . The king was shocked to see that the wife he loved the most reacted like this. He decided to ask his third wife if she would accompany him after his death.The third wife said " Oh no King! I can do anything for you but not this!!!". The king's heart sank at her reaction. Saddened, he decided to go further and ask his second wife the same question.The second wife replied" Oh King! I can give you anything but I can't help you here, at the most I can accompany you to your grave." The King was heartbroken. He now decided to ask his fourth and last wife, who was by now, almost lifeless, malnutrioned and skinny out of neglect, whether she would accompany him after his death. The fourth wife sprang to her feet and said "Oh! King I will follow you wherever you go, and I shall accompany you after your death to wherevr you go!!"..At this the king was overwhelmed and thought " I should've taken more care of her when I lived!!" In fact, we all have four wives.The fourth is our body, which leaves us the moment we die, but on which we shower all our attention . The third is prestige and status in society, which also leaves us when we die. The second is our family and friends, who at the most, can accompnay us till our grave.The first one is our soul , which we neglect the most , but is the only one who accompanies us even after our death. On which wife are You going to shower your attention on?? Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
