One day, a poor man turned to his wife and said,
“Honey, I’ve had enough of being broke! I’m going overseas to make some real money!”
With that, he packed his bags and headed off to Africa.
Several years later, he finally returned home.
But as he approached his house, he couldn’t believe his eyes.
The little home he remembered had been transformed into a luxurious mansion!
He knocked on the door, and a servant answered.
“Excuse me, is the lady of the house home?” he asked.
“Just a moment, sir,” replied the servant.
A few seconds later, his wife appeared, looking glamorous and elegantly dressed.
“Well, look who’s back!” she exclaimed. “And dressed like a millionaire!”
Her husband grinned proudly.
“That’s because I AM a millionaire!”
His wife raised an eyebrow.
“Really? How on earth did you manage that?”
He puffed out his chest and explained,
“When I arrived in Africa, I noticed that many people had no underwear and were sleeping on the ground!”
“So,” he continued, “I started making and selling underwear and beds. Business was booming, and before I knew it, I was rich!”
His wife smiled, shook her head, and replied,
“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.
