There was a rich merchant who had
He loved the 4th wife the most.


He adorned her with rich robes and
    treated her to delicacies.


He took great care of her and gave
    her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much.

 He's very proud of her and always
   wanted to show her off to his
              friends.
 However, the merchant is always in
 great fear that she might run away
        with some other men.
He too, loved his 2nd wife.
   She is a very considerate person,
    always patient and in fact is the
        merchant's confidante.

  Whenever the merchant faced some
 problems, he always turned to his 2nd
wife and she would always help him out
  and tide him through difficult times.
Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very
  loyal partner and has made great
contributions in maintaining his wealth
and business as well as taking care of
            the household.

However, the merchant did not love the
 first wife and although she loved him
  deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before
long, he knew that he was going to die
 soon. He thought of his luxurious life
 and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives
 with me. But when I die, I'll be alone.
           How lonely I'll be!"
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved
you most, endowed you with the finest
clothing and showered great care over
you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow
me and keep me company?" "No way!"
  replied the 4th wife and she walked
    away without another word. The
answer cut like a sharp knife right into
         the merchant's heart.
The sad merchant then asked the 3rd
wife, "I have loved you so much for all
  my life. Now that I'm dying, will you
 follow me and keep me company?"
 "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so
good over here! I'm going to remarry
when you die!" The merchant's heart
          sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always
    turned to you for help and you've
always helped me out. Now I need your
 help again. When I die, will you follow
me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry,
 I can't help you out this time!" replied
 the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can
   only send you to your grave." The
answer came like a bolt of thunder and
      the merchant was devastated.
Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with
you. I'll follow you no matter where you
go." The merchant looked up and there
 was his 1st wife. She was so skinny,
     almost like she suffered from
   malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the
 merchant said, "I should have taken
 much better care of you while I could
                   have !"
Actually we
 all have 4
wives in our
   lives,..
No matter how much time and effort we
lavish in making it look good, it'll leave
           us when we die
When we die, they all go to others
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
Often neglected in our pursuit of material
wealth and sensual pleasure. It is actually
the only thing that follows us wherever we
 go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate
 and strengthen it now rather than to wait
  until we're on our deathbed to lament.
WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT!?

 THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS
     LET OTHERS KNOW
