A vengeful spirit cannot get the problem solved, it just makes things worst.

The neighbors and relatives wanted to find out the main cause of the child’s death. Without the knowledge of the wife, they had examined closely on the child. They eventually found a three-inch pin poking into the child’s head. This discovery brought further suspicious on the first wife.

The husband did not believe his wife would murder the child. He urged his neighbors and relatives not to investigate this murder anymore.

The wife was excited as her husband had back to her. Her husband was caring much of her existence. Not long after that, she became pregnant. She was extremely happy on behalf of the first delivery of a baby girl. The baby had brought her husband love and attention to her. She thought that no one could ever steal her husband away from her.

Unfortunately, the bad thing occurred in the family. Her daughter died when she was two years old. She cried her heart out. But, what could she do, the child was dead.

Shortly after the death of her daughter, she gave birth to a baby boy. Again, the boy died when he was three. Just after her son’s death, she gave birth to another baby boy. But again and again, all her six children died and none of them had lived more than six years old. The lost of the children had put her and her husband in a great grief.

The wife had an extreme sadness and thus she locked herself in the room. Since this day onwards, she refused to eat or drink. She even would not want to talk or see anybody.
One day, a fairy god mother transformed herself into a noble person coming to see her. As usual, she refused to meet him. But the person told her that he had something important to talk personally to her. With the man’s persuasion, she finally opened the door to invite the man entering the room.

The man greeted her politely and said, “Madam, may I know what’d happened here?”

She kept silent without saying even a word.

The man said again, “Tell me… perhaps I can help you.”

This sudden request made her feeling nervous and shivering. Her body shook greatly and she could not say even a word. Regretfully, she told the man the real cause of the death of the second wife’s baby boy.

She pleaded sincerely towards the man to forgive her.

The man said again, “Do you know why all your six children passed away? Your strong

revengeful spirits had killed all these innocent children.”

She pleaded even sincere to the man to help her.

The man added, “Well, the deaths could not alive anymore. The utmost thing that you’ve to do now is that you should clean your spirit from hatred, revenge, and cruelness. Never do the wrong things again. Instead, you should cultivate good virtues within yourself. Start doing as many good deeds as you can to repent your sinful spirit.”

With tears rolling down from her cheeks, she said, “Thank you master…..”

Not soon after that, the man disappeared from her vision. She began realizing that the man who talked to her coming from the heaven.

The following morning, she determined to follow the wise man’s advice to do good deeds. She had dwelt her heart in a spiritual world to repent her sins and the wrongdoings she did in the past. Contentedly, she had survived in a religious life that will promise her a great place in the heaven.
