Please do not stop him. But please ask me to promise you this. Every night on my way to town I have to go to bed under the tamarind tree. But when he comes back home, please ask me to sleep at night under the neem tree. I advised Sage.
The puzzled wife returned home, but as Sage said, her husband asked. The next morning he left for the town.
The youngster returned to the village in ten days. To my surprise, my wife asked him what quickly put him back.
& # 39; He was ill.
The closer I came to town, the worse I felt. When I got to town, my fever was high and I could not find a job. And there was no one to take care of me. So I decided to go home. Strange to say, I got better when I got to the village. The life of the town is not for me. & # 39;
His wife smiled and remembered taking that special meal on Sage the night that evening.
