WHEN POVERTY BECOMES HAPPINESS AND RICHNESS BECOMES SADNESS!

There was the husband and wife who were living a very poor and wretched life. The wife always complained that they should pack to a bungalow like other of their family friends had done. He accused the man of laziness and not being ambitious in life.

The husband always tell her that God's time is the best and she should exercise patient as he has trying his best to pack out from the one room apartment they were living to a more comfortable house.

But the wife was impatient with him. She quarrels with him daily and taunts him. But as usual, the husband never gave up on his advice to her. He always tells her to be patient as no condition is permanent.

The wife would looked at him scornfully and said, "you are a failure! Lazy people and failures never get tired of preaching empty sermons without prayers! They always hope for better future! They never stop from promising those who advise them. I beg you, go away you are a failure!"

Two years later, his prayers and efforts came to a fulfilment! He bought a mansion and enrolled his children in one of the most expensive and standard school in town. He bought a car for his wife and trained her on her to drive.

Five years later, the woman found herself in perhaps the worst situation any wife would never think about or want to be in.

Days and weeks, she won't see the husband at home. He was always out there in businesses trips in and out of the country. She was always at home with the children and all the riches but without her husband beside her.

One day, the husband was about to go out in the evening. She knew that he won't come back home that night and so she seized him not to go out.

The husband then said to her, "woman! You complain too much. I was always with you in a room apartment but you were not satisfied with seeing me with you every night. What you want was a big house. Remember that you were having me with you but you were not having a good house and you continued to cry for a good house.

Now, you are having the good house but you are not having me. You can't get two things at the same time.. You would get one and lose the other. That is why you cannot at the same time be taller than I and at the same time be shorter than. Woman, you just have to endure the principles of life".

THIS STORY TEACHES US THAT WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME FOR EVERYTHING TO HAPPEN
FAST RICHES GOES OUT VERY FAST TOO!
