One Trial Was Enough for Him

A prudent peasant insured his prop
erty against fire and his wife's life at
the same time. One day a small hut
on his land was burned down and he
set such an enormous value on it that
the insurance company found it cheap
er to build him new one. The next
day the man went to their office and
said that he wished to discontinue the
insurance on his wifes life.
But why?" he was asked.
Because" he replied "since you
have given me a new hut instead OF
money, 1 suppose when the time comes
you will want to give me a new wife
instead of money."-Il Diavolo Rosa.
