They didn’t talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty person in the world…There was no more love. One day she talked to her Mother.
“Mom, we can’t stand it anymore. We have decided to divorce. I can’t imagine how I decided to marry this guy!”
Her mother replied, “Sure, that’s no big deal.
Just do whatever you want, if you really can’t stand it. But before that, do one thing. Remember the savings passbook I gave you on your wedding day?
Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn’t keep any record of such a poor marriage.”
She agreed with her. So she went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to her.
Her eyes were filled with tears. She left and went home. When she got home, she handed the passbook to him and asked him to spend the money before getting divorced.
So the next day,he went to the bank, and was waiting in the queue to cancel the account. While he was waiting, he took a look at the passbook record. He looked, and looked, and looked.
Then the memory of all the previous joyful moments came back to him. His eyes were filled with tears. He left and went home.
He gave the passbook back to her. She found a new deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record:
“This is the day I realized how much I’ve loved you throughout all these years.
How much happiness you’ve brought me.”
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back into the safe. “When you fall in any way, don’t see the place where you fell, instead see the place from where you slipped. Life is about correcting mistakes.”
