I am telling a story about how vital a wife is in a family. Once upon a time, a king and a queen lived in a town. The loyal family of the king and the queen was so prosperous. One day, when the loyal couple went out for a walk, they met an impoverished old couple who picked woods for their living on their way. The king said, "Oh! Although they are so old, how come they have to pick wood and sell them for a living." When the queen heard this, she said, "This is all because of the wife. The wife is so important." When the rich husband heard this, he got angry. The husband angrily told his wife, "If you mean I am rich because of you and you are important and so smart, you follow this old couple from today onwards. Don't stay with me." So, the wife followed the old couple. When the wealthy wife followed the old poor couple, they worked hard as the old couple collected wood for their living. When the grandfather went to collect firewood, his wife was sleeping until late morning. She was sleeping in the corner of the living room. Although the husband picked a bunch of firewood and put them in the house soundly, the wife woke up brownish at that time. The queen watched their doing, leading that family to work hard together. The three of them went and collected the firewood together. Each of them picked wood as much as they could. Each collected many stacks of firewood and sold them. After the rich wife led the poor couple to work, they were better off after a year. The living style of that old family was also changed, and their family was happier. While the wealthy wife was living with the older man and woman, the rich husband and his family were in havoc. The servants and the maid who worked and stayed in the rich man's house did not use the rich man's properties better, so the treasures and animals were lesser and lesser. Therefore, the rich man was in difficulty. Only then did the prosperous husband get repentant and think to himself, "Aww, what my wife said, in the family, a wife is critical, is so true." "I was wrong to talk to her. I am guilty and make mistakes." As he was repentant, he went to get his wife back from the old couple's place. Therefore, this story teaches us how the wife is so important in a family. Here is the end of the story.
