He too, loved his 2nd wife. 39 the merchant faced some 40 , he always turned to his 2nd 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 4th wife, “ I 45 you most. Now that I’m dying will you 46 me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
The 47 merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “ I have loved you so much for all my life. Will you follow me and keep me company?” “ 48 !” replied the 3rd wife. “ Life is so good over here! I’m going to 49 when you die!”
He then asked the 2nd 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 2nd 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.

From now on, on your way home, find something 47 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see- it could be scent(香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 48 of the wind slightly rustling(发出沙沙声) the leaves.”
“Please look for these things, and 49 them. The little things we are put here on the earth to enjoy. They are 50 observing , for at any time they can all be taken away.”

The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 him.

But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons, love signs.
