  A man went home from his office tired and exhausted.   On entering his house, he saw his two children fighting and all the objects in the hall disorderly placed.   He went to the kitchen to have his tea but it was not there.   Angrily he searched for his wife and found her quietly sleeping on the bed.   He asked her what happened to you.   She told every day you have been asking me what I am doing here.   So today I kept myself without doing anything so that you will understand what I have been doing every day.

The nurse told that it would take an hour to remove the stiches from his finger and she asked him to wait. But that old man kept starring the clock. The nurse removed the stiches and started the dressing.  The nurse asked him that where he wanted to go at 9:00. The old man replied that his wife was sick for several years and she was admitted in the nearby nursing home.  The nurse asked him if his wife will be worried because of his delay. The old man replied that, she had lost her memory, so she won’t be able to recognize him. He also said she couldn’t talk to him for 5 years. The nurse exclaimed that, then why are you visiting your wife every day. The old man replied her with a smile on his face, yes she could not recognize me, but I know her very well. Worse the situation, stronger must be ou...
