the 'divorce'...a story with a moral

1

2MUMBAI NEW YORK

An elderly man in Mumbai called his son in New York and said over

the phone,

3

'I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your

mother and I are getting a divorce;

35 years of marriage... and that

much misery is enough!'

4

'Dad, what are you talking

about?' the son asked shockingly over the phone.

5

'We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the old man said.

'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in

Hong Kong and tell her!'

6Hong Kong

Frantic, the son called his sister in Hong Kong, who exploded on the phone.

'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouted, 'I'll take care of this.'

7

In Hong Kong

'You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there

tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU

HEAR??'

She called Mumbai immediately, and

screamed at the old man.

Then she

hangedup.

8

The old man hung up his phone and turned to his wife.

9

'Okay', he said, 'It's all set. They're both coming for our anniversary and

paying their own airfare!!'

world all 365 days.The sky is not going to fall down

if you take a few days LEAVE and meet your dear ones.

BUSINESS, WORK OR CAREER IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE and MONEY MAKING IS

NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE.

The End

May we not forget that Life is more than merely chasing material wealth, status and power.
