Be careful what you wished for

by M smiles
There was an old married couple who lived in a forest. They hunt for food and plant for vegetables and fruits.

One day, the husband went out to fetch some water. But for the first time, he could not find any river nearby.He searched for hours.

But finally, he found one. He fulls the bucket with water.

Because of the long walk, he felt exhausted and thirsty. So he drink some from the river.

When he returned home, his wife was surprised of the young handsome man who had just walked in her door. He braught a bucket full of water into the house.

"Hey, honey. We should cook the water now. Its getting dark." the man said.

When the wife watched closely to his familiar face, she realized it was her husband. He surprisingly looking geourgesly young!

The wife explained what she had seen to her husband. She used a mirror as proof. Her husband became thrilled. He remembered about drinking water from the river before. No wonder he suddenly felt energetic. So he told her wife how it surely happened.

His wife was very amazed, she drank the water from the bucket that her husband brought back home from the river. But strangely, nothing happened. The wife's husband could not bare to see his wife sadness and dissapointment. So he promised to bring her to river along. Because he thaught that maybe you have to drink directly from the river to turn into a younger age.

And so he brought her to the river. She cups her hand to fetch the water. When she drank it, it did miracle-ly happened as how she wished for. She turn young and beautiful. They felt excited.

But, the wife was still unsatisfied. She wanted to be younger and more beautiful. Without thinking of the concinquences, she drank more water. Her husband felt a bit concerned and tried to stop her but she just drank it more and more.

His husband had to stop her by force by pulling her away from the water. But after a few seconds, it was too late. She did not turn beautiful as she expected because she had turned into a baby!

The husband regrets for not stopping her too soon.

He loved his wife truly much. And so he decided to took care of her until she grows up. He uses the river for a spare of his life for the sake of growing his wife back to how old she was.

When she grew up, she learned her lesson to not be greedy and selfish and always think before do.
