Body

A young man with a quixotic dream married a woman called 'Happiness.'
On the first night of the honeymoon, a strange woman was sitting in the room.
The startled groom shouted, "Who are you that you would be in this room?"

"I am a woman called 'Suffering.' I share the body with 'Happiness'
so I follow her like a shadow throughout her life."

The groom yelled, "Stop such nonsense and leave this room right now."

To this, the woman said softly, "If I leave the room, the woman called 'Happiness' must leave together."
