A poor man told his wife one day, “I am sick and tired of being poor. I am going to work overseas.”

So he packed his things and left for Africa.

A few years later, he returned home.

As he approached his house, he was stunned. The place looked nothing like the poor home he had left behind. It was now big, luxurious, and clearly very expensive.

He walked to the front door and knocked.

A servant opened.

“Is the housewife in?” he asked.

The servant replied, “Just a moment.”

A few moments later, his wife came out and stared at him.

“Wow,” she said. “My man, all dressed up as a rich man after all these years.”

The husband smiled proudly.

“Guess what?” he said. “I am rich.”

His wife raised her eyebrows. “How?”

The husband answered, “I went to Africa and found people walking with no underwear and sleeping on sand. So I began to make and sell underwear and beds.”

He stood taller and continued, “Due to the high demand, I got rich fast.”

His wife looked at him, shook her head, and said:

“A man, with all of your strength, had to go all the way to Africa, making beds and underwear, to get rich, and I am a little woman that stayed here, without underwear and on a single bed… I got REAL rich.”
