The Unhappy First Wife

The Wife and the Good Witch

One day, she went to fetch water from the village well. She could not complete her task and broke down. There was no one to console her.

Suddenly, her teary eyes saw a woman approaching her. She wiped her eyes and saw a very beautiful young woman standing close to her.

The woman said, “Why are you crying, my dear?”

The wife replied, “Why did the husband leave me for another woman? He left me because I am not beautiful enough for him.”

The woman said, “Oh! You poor child! Don’t worry.” She rubbed her tears off and told her to go home. The wife returned to her home after fetching water.

The Big Surprise

The wife completed all her work and bathed. When she came in front of the mirror, she was surprised. She was the most beautiful woman in the village. She immediately understood that the beautiful woman who approached her near the well was no ordinary one.

The tales of her beauty started to spread like wildfire. Eventually, it reached the husband’s ears. He came back running and saw her beauty.

The husband was also suffering from leaving her first wife. He said, “I will never leave you again. Even if you are simply like before, I promise to be with you every day till my last breath.”

They were happy.

The Jealous Second Wife

The second wife of the man was the one to provoke him to leave the first wife. She heard the news too and went closer to the well.

She pretended to cry so that a witch would appear and bless her in the same way. The witch could easily recognise good and bad souls. Despite her skill, she approached the second wife and rubbed her fake tears.
