Goldsmith and His Mysterious Wife

Long long ago there was a goldsmith living with his wife and father. Both the father and son were  desirous and determined hard worker. His wife was beautiful and devoted dutiful house-wife. She has a gifted sense to understand animal's talk but the father and son had no clue about her extraordinary gift. Literally they were a happy family.

One day the goldsmith with his wife were returning home from relative's house along the riverside. On the way, his wife surprisingly paused while walking.
He asked, "what is it"?
She said, "I can hear a Jackal's bark and I can understand what the jackal mean to say."
She told her husband that the Jackal is intended to say that there is a human dead body, a diamond ring on its finger, floating on the moving river. If anyone helps to get the body out of the water, he can get his food. In return of the favor, the helper can keep the diamond ring. She wished her husband to bring the dead body out of the water. But the husband couldn't believe her, thinking that it is foolish and unbelievable.
"how can a person understand an animal's speech!", He exclaimed.
Without giving a second thought, he clearly denied. But the wife was so greedy to get the diamond ring. Her keen desire towards diamond ring made her listen to Jackal and do that by herself, though she found no alternatives. She told her husband to stand on the riverbank and wait until she comes back with the ring. She entered into the water and get the dead body out of the water. Surprisingly there was a diamond ring worn by the dead. While she tried to remove the ring from the finger of the dead, it didn't slip due to swollen up. So, she bit it with her teeth and pulled it out.

All her actions were watched by her husband from distance. He was completely amazed and thought his wife is eating the dead, must be a scavenger. There were millions of doubts popped up in his mind. He horrified by his wife's activity. Without letting her know that he is frightened, he pretended normal and returned home with her. As soon as he reached home, he explained whole the incident happened, to his father secretly. The father was shocked when the son enlightened to the secret of his wife. The father said to his son, "If we let her live with us, definitely she will kill us for her hunger." They have decided to leave her alone somewhere in the jungle to get rid of her.

As planned, next morning the son deceived his wife that there is a message from her parents, willing to see her. As soon as she heard that she is going to visit her parents, she made herself ready in a minute enthusiastically. Both the husband and wife departed from their home. In middle of the way the husband intentionally insisted to take diversion from the regular route and adapt a shortcut to reach earlier to the destination, so that he can achieve his goal. On the way they had to pass through a carnivorous mysterious jungle. His motive was to leave her in the jungle.

While passing through the woods the wife heard a voice of a python. She paused there for a minute and went towards the direction where the sound was originated. She found that a python was trapped in a cave closed by a big rock from its opening, pleading for help. The python hissed from the cave, whoever remove the rock and set him free, can take all the ornaments he has been stored from the people he had hunted till date. The wife insisted her husband to help the python. But the husband was terribly scared to trust his mysterious wife. She assured her husband that nothing is dangerous. Finally, the husband agreed to the insist and moved the rock with little fear and hesitation. As soon as the opening of the cave is clear a huge python came out of the cave and went for hunt thanking the couple with pleasure. Later the couple grabbed all the ornaments and wealth stored by the python. The husband delighted with his wife's skill. He realized that really her wife has the ability to understand animal's language. She is not an evil or witch. Latter he revealed how he was going to get rid of her. Forgetting and ignoring the misunderstanding they returned their home back with joy.

While approaching home, they met an old friend on their way. To spend some time with the friend, the husband told his wife to proceed alone without him. Wife left him and moved towards home. The time she arrived home the father saw the daughter-in-law came home alone without his son. He suspected that she has slayed and ate his son. Without wasting a second he banged her head very hard with a hammer. She died on the spot at a glance. Latter when the son reached home with so much wealth he found his wife lying on the ground dead and father crying. His father surprised seeing him alive and said that he killed her suspecting the slayer. The son explained everything happened at their journey. In the end the father regretted for suspecting and killing his beloved innocent daughter-in-law without knowing the fact.

Story Moral: Don't decide or react when you are angry or without knowing the truth.
