從前，一位富有的商人娶了四個老婆。他最愛他的小老婆，給她綺麗的衣裳和美味佳肴。他對她關(guān)懷入微，把最好的東西都給了她。

Healsolovedthe3rdwifeverymuch.Hesveryproudofherandalwayswantedtoshowherofftohisfriends.However,themerchantisalwaysingreatfearthatshemightrunawaywithsomeothermen.

商人也很愛第三位老婆。他為她感到高傲，并常把她作為在摯友面前炫耀的資本。但他同時也憂心忡忡，怕她與其他男人跑了。

Hetoo,lovedhis2ndwife.Sheisaveryconsiderateperson,alwayspatientandinfactisthemerchantsconfidante.However,themerchantfacedsomeproblems,healwaysturnedtohis2ndwifeandshewouldalwayshelphimoutandtidehimthroughdifficulttimes.

當(dāng)然，商人也愛二老婆，她既善解人意又細(xì)心。事實上，她是商人的紅顏知己。每每遇到困難，他就會找她，而她也總能扶助他走出窘境，度過難關(guān)。

Now,themerchants1stwifeisaveryloyalpartnerandhasmadegreatcontributionsinmaintaininghiswealthandbusinessaswellastakingcareofthehousehold.However,themerchantdidnotlovethefirstwifeandalthoughshelovedhimdeeply,hehardlytooknoticeofher.

至于大老婆，她是一位忠誠的伴侶，替他照料生意、打理家務(wù)，忙里忙外，可謂勞苦功高。然而，盡管她愛得這么深，商人卻偏不鐘情于她，甚至沒把她放在心上。

Oneday,themerchantfellill.Beforelong,heknewthathewasgoingtodiesoon.Hethoughtofhisluxuriouslifeandtoldhimself,NowIhave4wiveswithme.ButwhenIdie,Illbealone.HowlonelyIllbe!

一日，商人得了重病，他自知將不久于人世。當(dāng)他回想自己奢華的一生，不禁心中悵然："現(xiàn)在我雖然有四個老婆相伴，但死后卻要孤零零一人。多落莫?。?

Thus,heaskedthe4thwife,Ilovedyoumost,endowedyouwiththefinestclothingandshoweredgreatcareoveryou.NowthatImdying,willyoufollowmeandkeepmecompany?

于是，他問小老婆："我最疼你，給你買最美麗的衣服，還對你呵護(hù)備至?，F(xiàn)在我就要離開這個世界了，你容許隨我而去，與我相伴嗎？'

Noway!repliedthe4thwifeandsheturnedawaywithoutanotherword.

"絕不成能！'她丟下一句話，徑自走開了。

Theanswercutlikeasharpkniferightintothemerchantsheart.Thesadmerchantthenaskedthe3rdwife,Ihavelovedyousomuchforallmylife.NowthatImdying,willyoufollowmeandkeepmecompany?

小老婆的回復(fù)如一把尖刀插在商人心上。悲傷的商人繼而問第三個老婆："我一向?qū)δ銓檺塾屑?。如今，我將不久于人世，你容許隨我而去，與我相伴嗎？'

No!repliedthe3rdwife.Lifeissogoodoverhere!Imgoingtoremarrywhenyoudie!Themerchantsheartsankandturnedcold.

"不！'她拒絕道，"人間的生活多么美好啊！你死后我會改嫁他人！'商人的心倏地下沉，逐漸變冷。

Hethenaskedthe2ndwife,Ivealwaysturnedtoyouforhelpandyouvealwayshelpedmeout.NowIneedyourhelpagain.WhenIdie,willyoufollowmeandkeepmecompany?

他再轉(zhuǎn)向二老婆，問道："我過去往往求助于你，你也總能為我排憂解難?，F(xiàn)在我想再請你幫一次忙。我死后，你容許隨我而去，與我相伴嗎？'

Imsorry,Icanthelpyououtthistime!repliedthe2ndwife.Attheverymost,Icanonlysendyoutoyourgrave.Theanswercamelikeaboltofthunderandthemerchantwasdevastated.

"很歉仄，這一次我?guī)筒涣四悖?她說，"我最多只能讓你入土為安。'這句話猶如晴天霹靂，商人徹底絕望了。

這時，旁邊傳來一個聲音："我容許隨你一同離去。無論你到哪里，我都會跟著你。'商人抬起頭，看到了自己的大老婆。她是那么消瘦，一副養(yǎng)分不良的樣子。商人悲傷萬分，他說："我過去就理應(yīng)好好地珍惜你??！'
