¡¡¡¡He then asked the 2nd wife, ¡°I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?¡± ¡°I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!¡± replied the 2nd wife. ¡°At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.¡± The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

¡¡¡¡Then a voice called out: ¡°I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go.¡± The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, ¡°I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!¡±
