Long,long ago, during , the days of Lord BUDDHA, there lived an oofy couple.Both,the hubby and the wife were kind and compassionate and loved to care for and serve the sick and the impecunious. They were ever ready to run errands for the helpless and the hapless.
One day, when the pious wife went to serve the sick in a Buddhist monastery, she was accosted by a monk in a deplorable state of health.After serving him when the lady asked him about food, he murmured,"Only meat soup can save my life."
The lady was very vexed and in a catch-22 situation. She had never maimed or killed or caused to be killed any critter even for food.She sat chewing the cud to find a way out.Luckily, an idea bobbed up in her mind. "I'll slice off a portion of my own flesh to prepare soup for the indisposed monk,she resolved.And then, she translated her resolve into reality.
When the hubby learnt of the deed of her wife and also she herself had endangered her life, he in a state of panick, skedaddled to the Buddha and blubbered out to him the whole incident.
" Chillax son,"consoled the Buddha," I'll come to your home with my accolytes for food. Your spouse will then have to stand up and feed us."
As promised, the Buddha came the next day with his disciples.The wife was too bruised and sick to attend to them. But when the Buddha asked for her, she was able to stand up and walk as if nothing had happened to her.To her utter astonishment, she discovered that her wound was completely healed and all weakness had jettisoned her.
