Once, a wealthy couple wanted to flirt with each other during the day but were worried their servant would find out. Coincidentally, there was a funeral in the village below, so the husband sent the servant down to sell candy, truly a win-win situation.
The servant thought to himself: “What a surprise! Why am I being asked to sell candy today? Something must be going on at home.” So, he pretended to take a stroll around before sneaking back to eavesdrop on what was happening. Once the couple saw the servant leave, they went into their room for some privacy. The husband asked the wife:
– When I die, what will you cry for?
– I will cry, “Oh my dear! My beloved!” What else could it be?
Then the wife asked:
– When I die, how will you cry?
– I will cry, “Oh my love! My darling! What else could it be?”
Upon hearing this, the servant shouted loudly:
– Anyone want to buy candy? Come and get it before it’s gone! Candy here… candy here…!
The husband, hearing the commotion, quickly put on his pants and rushed out, yelling:
– Why aren’t you selling down in the village?
– Sir, there are two funerals here, and I haven’t sold a single piece. How could I possibly sell anything at the village with only one funeral?
