The Old Merchant, His Young Wife, and The Unexpected Visitor

In a certain town, there lived a rich but old merchant named Kamatura. He was a widower and ever since his wife had passed away, he longed for companionship and decided to remarry. He managed to convince another merchant to let him marry his young daughter by offering a lot of money.

The young wife was very unhappy with the marriage as she didn’t like her husband because he was an old man. She avoided him and never even looked at him.

The old merchant understood her unhappiness but tried everything to impress her.

One night, while they were sleeping on opposite sides of the bed, a thief sneaked into their house. The young wife woke up due to some noise and realized that there was a thief in the house.

Terrified, she turned to her husband who was sleeping. Out of fear, she tightly hugged her husband without making any noise so as not to alert the thief.

He shouted at the thief, “Oh stranger, I want to thank you! I have tried everything, but my wife kept avoiding me. But it is because of you that she hugged me so lovingly. I am a happy man now, please take anything you like.”
