A SHORT STORY


There was a man in Calcutta who was very handsome. He was actually an engineer. However he did not earn anything because he had a mental defect .
He had a beautiful wife. The wife was not only beautiful but very learned.
The wife loved him very much. She loved him because he was so handsome.
Since the man could not earn enough she had to work in a office.
But she did not like to work in the office as well because there was so much tension and rigor involved in it.
Although the wife worked she did not earn enough so that they could live in the way they wanted to live.
But she worked everyday diligently because she loved her hubby.
She could not rise in the morning, still she did. She had tummy aches, headaches, backaches and nausea. Yet she went to office every day. She could not see her husband going hungry.
Every month they found some money wanting. She tried hard to even earn more for her husband. She developed blood sugar. She had many other ailments.
To make up the want they had to sell their possession little by little.
The wife had to sell her beautiful ornaments.
She cried and begged her husband to earn a little...
The husband tried as best he could. But because of his defect he could not earn anything.
Slowly all their possession evaporated.
They were distraught.
The wife nagged and begged to her husband everyday.
Husband thought hard but could not find a way out.
But one day he was walking in the road and found that a luxurious car was standing in front of the house.
A little crooked ugly man came out from the car with another man.
The ugly man came straight towards him. He stood in front of him and said “Hello, I want to talk with you.”
The husband said – yes?
The ugly man said “See I am a very rich man but my wife hates me because I am ugly. This guy beside me a cosmetic surgeon from USA. He is a genius. He says he can make me the most handsome man in the world. But only if another handsome man gives up his beauty for me. It is called genetic transplantation of new kind. I think you are the most handsome man in Calcutta. Will you give some of your beauty to me. I will give money according to the amount of physical beauty you give me.”
They negotiated for money for a long time.
Then the man sold all his possession and became a short black crooked ugly man and came back home with 2 crore rupees.
And the man and the wife lived happily ever after.
