There was a rich foreign merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4^th wife most and  36  her with best clothes and  37  her to delicious food.
He also loved the 3^rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to  38  his 3^rd wife to his friends.
He too, loved his 2^nd wife. 39  the merchant faced some 40  , he always turned to his 2^nd wife and she would always help him out.
Now, the merchant’s first wife had made great  41  to his business. However, the merchant did not love her and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. He knew that he was going to die  42  . He told himself, “ Now I have 4 wives with me. 43  when I die, I’ll be alone. How  44  I’ll be!”
Thus, he asked the 4^th wife, “ I  45 you most. Now that I’m dying will you 46  me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4^th wife and she walked away without another word.
The  47  merchant then asked the 3^rd wife, “ I have loved you so much for all my life. Will you follow me and keep me company?” “ 48  !” replied the 3^rd wife. “ Life is so good over here! I’m going to 49  when you die!”
He then asked the 2^nd  wife, “ I 50 turned to you for help. Now I need your help again. Will you follow me and keep me company?” “I’m sorry, I can’t  51  you out this time!” replied the 2^nd wife.
Then a 52 pulled out, “ I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter  53  you go.” Broken-hearted, the merchant said, “ I should have taken much better  54  of you while I could have.”
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our life: our body, our possessions, our friends, and our 55  . We should take good care of our soul all our life.
