Inside Mailbox...there are 3 advices

This is a forward mail that I recieved today and the source is unknown. I find it quite meaningful.

Sigh...in order to let pinkcotton to be able to understand the mail, I have to do translation. As usual, I try my best to translate it as accurate as possible, but just add in some seasoning. 'x'!!

Redsponge's version

There was this newly-wed couple lived in poor. One day, the husband told the wife:"Dear, I am leaving for work. I will only return when I can provide you with more comfortable living. One thing that I would want to pledge you for is to be faithful when I am not around. I will be faithful to you too."

Many days later (hmm normally we read from stories it is a few days later), the husband was employed and worked in a farm. He made the employer to agree with his only request: "Please allow me to work here as long as I want, when I feel like leaving, you let me go. And you pay me on the day I leave."

So, both parties agreed in this.

There, the husband worked for 20 years without any LEAVE (OMG, only happens in tales).

One day, he told his boss: "I want to go home already."
Boss said:"Ok, I will do as what we have agreed earlier on. But I have a deal for you. You can choose to have either the money or 3 advices from me. Think about it and let me know."
2 days later, the husband went to find his boss and said: "I want advices."
His boss reminded him: "If I tell you the advices, you will not get the money."
The husband said: "Yes, I want the advices."

Boss told him:"
1. NEVER go for shortcuts. Unknown shortcut will kill you.
2. NEVER curious towards something that could be bad. Otherwise, it might take your live too.
3. NEVER make any decisions when you are filled with anger and revenge. Otherwise, you will sure regret."
He continues:"There are 3 loaves of breads here, 2 for you to eat on your journey home. As for the other one, you can share it with your wife when you reached home."

After being apart with his beloved wife and away from his hometown for 20 years, the husband was on the way home.
One day later, the husband met a man. That man said:"This path you took take a long time to reach the destination. I know a shortcut. It will only take you a few days." The husband was so excited. When he was about to travel on the shortcut, he remembered the first advice from his boss and he returned to the previous path he travelled along. Later, he realised that the shortcut told by that man was actually a trap that had been set up.

Few days later, he was tired of travelling. He found a hotel and decided to spent a night there. After paying, he entered his room and slept soundly. He was awaken by a shrieking voice in the middle of the night. He jumped out from the bed and decided to go outside the room to find out what has happened. Just when he had open the door, he remembered the second advice. Therefore he went back to sleep.

He wake up the next day and after having coffee, the hotel owner asked him whether he heard anything the night before. The husband told the hotel owner that he heard it. Hotel Owner:"You are not curious?" The husband told him that he was not. Hotel owner said:"You are the first customer that is able to leave the hotel without being killed. My only son has mental problem. Last night, he shouted loudly to attract the customers get out from the room. Then he killed and buried them."

The husband continued his journey, finally he reached his home on one evening. From afar, he saw his little hut with smoke coming out from the chimney and his wife's figure. Although it was getting dark, he could see that his wife was not alone, there was a man resting his head on her laps and she was touching his hair gently. He was VERY*100 upset and wanted to kill the both of them. He took a deep breath and walked in fast pace towards them. And he thought of the third advice, he stopped.

The next morning, he had calm down and told himself:"I cant kill my wife, I must get back to my boss and beg him to have me working for him again. But before this, I must tell her that I am still the faithful husband of hers."

He knocked at the door, the wife open it. She flung herself into him and hugged him tightly. He wanted to push his wife away but he didnt. With tears inside his eyes, he told his wife:"I keep my faith for you but you have betrayed me..." The wife was shocked and asked: "What? I have never betrayed you, I have been waiting for you for 20 years, booohooohooo (hee add in effect)."
The husband:"Then who is the guy at our house yesterday afternoon?"
The wife: "He is our son! When you left, I was pregnant. And he is 20 years old now!"

The husband entered the house, hugged the son. While the wife was preparing lunch, the husband told the son about his experience during the 20 years. Then, they had the bread together. When he splitted the bread, he found money inside - the money he had earned during the 20 years.
