A poor man, tired of struggling to make ends meet, told his wife one evening, \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of being poor! I\u2019m going to Africa to work. I\u2019ll come back rich, and we\u2019ll finally live the life we deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife, though sad, agreed and wished him luck. Years passed \u2014 no letters, no calls, no word. Then one day, completely out of the blue, the man returned home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he approached his house, his jaw dropped. There were three brand-new cars parked outside, a huge house extension, and his wife standing on the porch \u2014 dressed beautifully, wearing gold jewelry, and looking completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was speechless. \u201cHoney,\u201d he stammered, \u201cwhat happened? How did you manage all this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife smiled calmly and said, \u201cOh, you remember our neighbor, Mr. Benson? He took care of me while you were away\u2026 like a brother!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The poor man fainted on the spot. When he came to, she added, \u201cRelax, dear. You said you were going to make us rich \u2014 and you did. Just not the way you expected!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moral of the story: Never underestimate what can happen when you leave your wife waiting too long! \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A poor man, tired of struggling to make ends meet, told his wife one evening, \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of being poor!
