First Husband
The grief-stricken man threw himself across the grave
and cried bitterly. "My life, how senseless it is!
How worthless is everything about me because you are
gone. If only you hadn't died, if only fate had not
been so cruel as to take you from this world, how
different everything would have been."
A clergyman happened by and to soothe the man he
offered a prayer. Afterward he said, "I assume the
person lying beneath this mound of earth was someone of
great importance to you."
"Importance? Indeed it was," moaned the man. "It's my
wife's first husband!"
