tongue

I rmmbr a story, a herder and his wife who are really happy with their marriage. Both love each other very much and it shows thoroughly

The wife is glowing with affection and have the most beautiful smile while waiting everyday for her husband to come back home

At the palace, the king of the kingdom also have a lovely queen. She's the most beautiful maiden when he married her. But he's not happy

He's not happy because after a while, the queen starts to lose her smile, she keeps to herself and lost her appetite. The king gets worried

So he summoned the best of healers from around the kingdom to heal her queen with lavish rewards. And they come in numbers. One by one tried

They tried everything, every medicine available. Every known treatments but to no avail. Instead the queen gets worse n gets into depression

When the king finally about to lose hope he went around his kingdom in search of calm n inspiration. That's when he found the herder n wife

He wonders how could a herder's wife could be so happy and content with her life even if they barely had the necessities to live.

To cut the story short the king asked the herder what did he feed his wife. So he answered "feed her tongues".

The chef prepared every kind of tongue he could get. But the queen didn't show any improvement. The king got angry thinking he's cheated

The king decided if he can't cure his queen he wanted the herder's wife instead since she's so happy and lovely. They swapped wives

The king thought finally he'll get a fulfilling marriage but instead the exact same thing happened to his new wife

While the herder's new wife improved n got to her beautiful self again. When the king knew he got angry thinking the herder used sorcery

He ordered the herder to be imprisoned less he told him what kind of sorcery he used. The herder again told him, "feed her tongue"

The king got so angry that he wants to chop the herder's head. "You liar!" He said, "I fed her all kind of tongues but she only got worse!"

"Let me explain by what I meant by feed her tongue. It's not about cooking animal's tongue and make her eat it." He said, "That's not it."

Every single day, when u come back home, greet ur wife with the warmest of smile n kiss her forehead. Look her in the eyes n say I miss you

Then tell her everything that happened that day while you are out. Even the most mundane of event, just tell her. Make it interesting

She would feel appreciated and loved. What she wants the most is the feeling that she is the most important person in the world for you

That you can't wait to get back home and see her and tell her everything about your life. Make her wanted.

Above all else, show your woman how much u appreciate her and need her in ur life. You'll never get any love more great than that.
