There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives.

He loved the 4th wife the most

and 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 off her 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 first 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 !"
Moral :
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives

a. The 4th 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. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all
go to others.

c. The 2nd 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 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material,
wealth and sensual pleasure.

Guess what? 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
One fine day, a bus driver went to the bus garage,
started his bus, and drove off along the route. No
problems for the first few stops - a few people got
on, a few got off, and things went generally well.

At the next stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got

on. Six feet eight,built like a wrestler, arms hanging
down to the ground. He glared at the driver and
said, "Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the
back.

Did I mention that the driver was five feet three,

thin, and basically meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he
didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't happy
about it. The next day the same thing happened -
Big John got on again, made a show of refusing to
pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the next.

This grated on the bus driver, who started losing

sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of
him. Finally he could stand it no longer. He signed
up for body building courses, karate, judo, and all
that good stuff.

By the end of the summer, he had become quite

strong; what's more, he felt really good about
himself. So on the next Monday, when Big John once
again got on the bus and said, "Big John doesn't
pay!"

The driver stood up, glared back at the passenger,

and screamed, "And why not?"

With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied,

"Big John has a bus pass."

the first place before working hard to solve one."
Seven Reasons The World Will End In 2012 – Proven
Scientifically

Don’t know whether its true or not, but just thout of sharing
it to you.
7 reasons the world will end in 2012

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely

predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could
well finish. Some are saying it’ll be humans that set it off.
Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause.
And the religious folks are saying it’ll be God himself who
presses the stop button…

1. Mayan Calendar
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were
the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two
things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone

and Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the

length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34
seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth
will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty
close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got
the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms
Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun
have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife.
The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature,
cyclic, and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of
relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been
bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it’s
been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites.
This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations
suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest
particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to
smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe
tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious
concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly
even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re
predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black
holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious
experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a
super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says…

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world
isn’t bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as
well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the
date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil,
has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the
Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do
various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for
its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for
this is simple – it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest
volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get
nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of
erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years
overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with
ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen
winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure
under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists
have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists
This one’s case of bog-simple maths mathematics.
Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the
numbers. and they’ve determined that the Earth is well
overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re
claiming their calculations prove, that we’re all going to die,
very soon – while also saying their prediction comes with a
certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the
best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap- BANG!
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field
that sheilds us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you
might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and
south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000
years or so – and right now we’re about 30,000 years
overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting
apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever
before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the
corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field
is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up
to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your
skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into
the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a
trap.

The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will
grant you three wishes."

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank
you,but I failed to mention that there was a condition to
your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get
times ten!"

The woman said, "That's okay." For her first wish, she
wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also
make Your husband the most handsome man in the world,
an Adonis whom women will flock to. "

The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most

beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me." So,
-she's the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in

the world.

The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man
in the world and he will be ten times richer than you." The
woman said,

"That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is

mine."

So, -she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she
answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack."

really smart.

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only
goes to show that women never listen!
