Intelligent Daughter-in-law


Tom was the eldest son of his family. Next day after his marriage, when he introduced his wife Julia to all family members, she realized to go hand-in-hand with a family of 21 members would not be an easy task.

Few days after, Tom asked Julia– Is she happy?

Then Julia answered tranquilly with a smile on her face– Yes, I am very happy.

By listening this, Tom wondered because he himself had seen her aunts taunting Julia, and there’s lot of work from morning till night, so he questioned her- Since morning till night doing household work and listening to aunts don’t you feel nasty?

On this Julia with a little smile on face spoke- No, I don’t feel bad about anything.

Tom was curious to know the reason behind her endurance then he asked her, on which Julia answered– Whatever turnings and happenings took place in my daily life and the atmosphere which surrounds me, I write all in my diary, then when my diary will be completed, I will make a novel of it. I am very happy living here because in such a big family, I have various characters for my novel. That’s why I write about all characters and their behavior in my novel.

Next morning, Tom unveiled to all family members about Julia’s novel, in which she writes about behaviour of all family members and work of the whole day.

By listening this, one thought struck everyone’s mind that they all have to show their character sturdy. From that day all behaved nicely, remained happily with each other. Julia also didn’t have to listen taunting. Neither was there any tussle between elders nor children quarreled with each other because everyone had to show their character and behavior more superior and reliable than others.

Slowly-slowly they used to behave in the same manner. Then after few days all asked Julia when her novel will be completed? Then Julia sweetly answered that soon it is going to be finished. After asking time and again she replied the same.

One day Tom lonely asked her wife- Many days have passed, when your novel will be completed? Finally when do you write that novel, neither anyone has seen your novel nor you have hidden it anywhere?

Then Julia answered- I don’t write any novel. I have done this drama to connect all family members so that they could change their behaviour and live happily. Now, if everything is clear then we should tell this to everyone that as such there is no novel.

Next morning, when she revealed this to everyone, all family members thanked and praised her; because of her wit, she had bounded all family members in a relation of love and affection. In this way, Julia with her intelligence had turned around adverse situations and made them congenial.

Dear friends, In this way there are lot of tough situations in our life, but we have to remember that through our sensibleness we can handle those situations according to our own and can make our life much easier. Thank You.
