Not what she expected happened when a young widow went to visit her husband’s grave every week. She would go to the graveyard once a week to pay her respects and water the flowers. But whenever she left, she always turned her back on the grave, which made people wonder what she was doing.
For a while, the visitor had been watching the widow’s routine and finally got the nerve to talk to her. He praised her for how well she remembered her late husband and said he admired her unique behaviour. He said, “I think it’s lovely that you don’t turn around when you leave,” hoping for a sweet answer.
Instead, the widow looked the man straight in the eye and said something funny that made him silent. She smiled slyly and said, “My husband used to say that I had a behind that could bring the dead back to life.” “I’d rather not take any chances.”
The visitor was shocked by the widow’s rude answer, which was both funny and surprising. The widow’s quick wit and smart quip turned a sad conversation into a funny one, and the stranger will always remember how playful she was.
