When compassion and possisiveness met each other.....
Once there lived a rich lady who was fond of
collecting various ornaments and valuable articles as and when she found time. One day she went to a market in search of costly jewel box. She bought it and was coming to her home. On the way it was raining. She saw a beautiful young lady shivering in cold as the weather was unbearably cold. She was wearing ragged coat which could not kept her warm. She was begging the by passers to offer some thing so that she could buy some hot drinks to chase the cold. When the rich lady saw her she decided to help her. She thought into herself that if she takes care of that beggar lady every one would appreciate her for her mercy and kindness. She told her to come to her home and that beggar lady also accepted her favor. Both reached home. The lady was going on telling about the richness of her bedroom, drawing hall and so on without having in mind that the young lady wanted food and warmness at that time. Then that young lady once again reminded that she needed only a loaf of bread and any hot drinks that may keep her warm. Then the rich lady realized her mistake and offered everything she needed. After a while the rich lady’s
husband entered into the
house. When he saw the young lady who was introduced by his wife, he surprised of her extraordinary charming beauty. The rich lady and her husband went to their bedroom and the wife explained how she found that lady and also she wanted to keep her in her house permanently as she seemed very poor. Her husband described that young lady’s beauty and praised her very much. He requested his wife to invite that young lady to dine with them on that night. Then that rich lady returned to her private room. She started to think that if she allows this young lady to stay with them there may be chances that her husband might start loving that lady since she was extremely beautiful. Hence she decided to send that lady immediately. However she did not want to send her with empty hand. She prepared a cheque for fifty dollars and handed over the same to that poor lady. She went out immediately after receiving the cheque.
The rich lady entered into her husband ‘s room. He asked about the young lady. She told that the young lady did not want to stay in her house. She also told she should be the only woman to be loved by her husband and no woman has no share to share his love.
