A newly married couple is living in poverty. One
day, the husband said to his wife: “Dear, I want to leave home. I’m going to
find a job and work very far away until I can give you a comfortable and decent
of life then I will come back. I don’t know how long I will work but I just can
wish you one thing, waiting for me. When I’m not at home, please being faithful
to me and I promise you I will also faithful to you.”
After many days, he came to an ongoing recruitment manor and he has hired. “Please allow me to work at here as long as I want when I think it’s the time to leave, you will let me go. I usually do not want to draw compensation, please pay me the existence of an account. On the day I left then you give me the money.” Both sides reached an agreement. The man worked there for 20 years with no vacations and rarely rest.
One day, he said to his boss: “I want to get back my money, I’m going home.” His boss said: “Well, we have an agreement and I will act according to the agreement but I have one suggestion, or I’ll give you the money, you leave, either I’ll give you three advices, don’t give you the money, and then you leave.” The man said: “I will be back on tomorrow. Can I give you the answer on tomorrow morning?” The boss said: “Sure.”
The man did not sleep that night. In the next morning, he tells his boss he wanted the three advices. His boss reminded him and said: “If I give you the three advices, I will not give you the money.” He said: “I want advices.” Then, his boss said:

1) Don’t
try to find a shortcut no matter what is going on. The convenient and unfamiliar
road may bring you death so better keep your feet on the ground.
2) Don’t
over-curious although you know it is not a good thing, it may bring you death.
3) Don’t
make any impulsive decision; otherwise the decision may make you regret it
forever.
The
boss gave him some money and three slices of bread before he left and told him only
can eat the biggest bread when he reached home. After that, he hit the road. He
walked for several days. He has eaten half of the first bread. Soon, he arrived
at a junction. He asked the passersby which way is near to his hometown. “You
can take the shortcut, it is quite near,” said passerby A. “I suggest you take
the main road because it is more safety,” said passerby B.
He was bursting to meet her wife so he decided to take the shortcut. It wasn’t long he heard some passersby said that there are bandits nearby. Then he remembered his boss’s first piece of advice: Don’t try to find a shortcut. So he turned back to the main road. Again, he walked for a few days. The second bread has half eaten by him. He found a cheap inn to stay a night.
In the middle of the night, he heard a woman crying. He couldn’t sleep. He decided to take a look. In the moment, he thought of the second piece of advice: Don’t over-curious although you know it is not a good thing. He was asleep. When the next day of departure, the boss of the inn felt surprised and asked: “You still alive?!” He felt puzzled then he asked for the reason. The boss said he had a crazy daughter, when the onset she will cry to lead out the guests and killed them. He was the only lodging guest who alive.
He continued walked for a few days. When he had finished the second bread, his home is not far away anymore. He was even more excited. He arrived his village when the darkness fell. When he was going to knock the door, he heard a man’s voice from his house. He was in a rage and picked up a slasher and ready to burst into the house to kill the man. But then he thought of the third piece of advice: Don’t make any impulsive decision; otherwise the decision may make you regret it forever. He tried to calm down and sat outside the house overnight.
In the next early morning, he knocked the door. His wife was pleased to see him back. But he was apathy and said: “I’m loyal to you but you betrayed me.” His wife was surprised and said: “What? I have never betrayed you; I waited for you for 20 years.” He said: “Then who is that man?” His wife laughed and said: “That is our son. It wasn't long when you left the home, I found out I was pregnant and our son is already 20 years old.” He found this young guy look similar with him. They met for the first time and mingled their tears. After a while, the man took out the third slice of bread and wanted to share with her wife and son. After he had cut the bread, he found out the 20 years of wages was inside the bread.
This story tells us that we have to think clearly before we do anything otherwise we will regret a lifetime. Everyone will have this kind of experience in the future. If you face it, you should think about the boss’s three advices and learn the man don’t be tempted by the money and confused.
