Until one day, the king feel ill and he knew that death was imminent. While contemplating a very luxurious life, the king then thought, "right now I have 4 wives beside me, but when I go, maybe I'll own". Then, he asked to the fourth wife, "until now, I most love you, I gave you a gift the most beautiful of the clothes and gave a great attention just for you. Now I'm dying, are you going to follow and stay with me?" "it will not!" replied the fourth wife, he went away without saying anything more. the answer of his wife is like a knife piercing her heart was so right. The king sad and said to his third wife, "I really adore you with all my soul. Now I'm dying, do you still follow and always be with me?" "No!" said the wife. "Life is so beautiful! When you die, I will be married again!" the king feelings emptiness and froze. Moment later, the king asked to his second wife, "All this time, when I needed you, you're always there for me. The next time I die, if you will follow and continue beside me?" "Forgive me, for this time I could not fulfill your wish!" replied his second wife. "All I could do, just go with you to your funeral".
Again, the response of the wife like a bolt that grabbed and broke her heart. Suddenly, a voice said "I will be with you and accompany you whenever you go". The king turned his head looking for anyone who talked to him and saw his first wife. He looked so thin, such as suffering from malnutrition. With very deep regret and profound sorrow, the king said wistfully, "I should have more notice you when I still had plenty of opportunities!".
