A Mother’s Love

The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen.

A Wife That is Worth Eight Cows

Johnny Lingo’s Eight-Cow Wife

My trip to the Kiniwata Island in the Pacific was a memorable one.
Although the island was beautiful and I had an enjoyable time, the
thing I remember most about my trip was the fact “Johnny Lingo gave
eight cows for his wife.” I’m reminded of it every time I see a woman
belittle her husband or a wife wither under her husband’s scorn. I want
to say to them, “You should know why Johnny Lingo gave eight cows for his wife.”
