Ghost of wife

                               Ghost of wife

Long ago,in a village there lived a couple. Wife was in her last days. One day,she called her husband and said she will not live long. As she loves her husband very much, husband must not get marry after she dies. If he does, she will torture him in his dreams at night.
Husband agreed. One day ,lady died. After remembering his promise given to his wife, husband didnt get marry. He is not talking to women also. But he was attracted by a woman . He thought of marrying her. And one day he married and came home with his new bride.
On that day itself, in night ghost of his wife came in his dreams. It was in great sorrow. It scolded husband for breaking his promise and marrying again. It didnt listen to any of the explanation of husband. It vowed that it will torture husband for breaking promise.
Like that , it kept its promise. Daily it used to come in dreams and arguing with husband. Now husband is afraid to sleep at nights. Seeing his restlessness, his new bride asked him the reason. Husband explained everything to her. Then she thought of a plan .
Likewise, after husband slept, Ghost of his first wife appeared in his dreams. Husband praised his wife and said she was very good at remembering things. Ghost was very happy by flattering. Then husband challenged ghost if it answer his question correctly, he will cut all the relationship with his new bride. If it fails, then ghost must not torture him in future.
Ghost agreed. Husband took out some grains from basket and questioned ghost to answer how much were the grains in his palm? But ghost  could not answer that. It accepted defeat and never returned to torture husband in dreams.
