Working Woes ......

A woman once begged a tribal doctor for a potion that would 'make her husband love her again'. She explained that before he husband fought in the war, he was warm, loving and could laugh easily. But since his return he was angry, distant and humourless. The more she did to draw him back, the worse it became. The tribal doctor was her last hope. When she finished her story, the tribal doctor said, 'I think I can help you. I will make you a love potion - but you must go and find one of the ingredients yourself.'

She said she would. The tribal doctor then told her that this love potion must contain a whisker from a live tiger. This was the only way he could help make her husband love her again. The woman was distraught. 'How can I possibly get a whisker from a beast as fierce and powerful as a tiger?'. The tribal doctor shrugged and left her to tears.

The next morning this woman went to a place where she had once seen a tiger. On that day she saw nothing but monkeys fighting in the trees and birds flying in the air. On the second day, she stayed a little longer and found a comfortable place to sit. But she did not see the tiger. Weeks passed .

One morning she sensed his presence before she saw him. She didn't move but the tiger saw her anyway and ran away. It was a week before she saw the tiger again curious, the tiger stopped running away.

Finally after months of bringing good things for the tiger to eat and ever so slowly reaching out to pet him, the tiger was so comfortable with the woman that he fell asleep under her stroking hand. Once he was asleep the woman took a very sharp knife and gently cut a single whisker from the tiger's muzzle.

The next day this woman brought this whisker to the tribal doctor, and asked for the potion that would make her husband love her again.

The tribal doctor said, 'You do not need any potion. Throw away the whisker, keep the knowledge you have gained and your husband will learn to love you once more.'
