getting married the first time is a duty
the second time stupidity
the third time madness--german saying
one must make sure to get married , if the spouse is compatible life is good
or one can turn philosophical for free
marriage is not a honeymoon but a test of life--german saying
the moon casts its light in the dark night to light up the earth, without sharing its blemishes kept close to its heart
two things in life give lots of pain, one not getting what you like
two getting something you never wanted
if you ask for someone in your prayers , but your prayers are not answered remember you are also with more passion being asked for in someone else"s prayers

likewise people reject us when misfortune befalls on us
and we too reject others when we enjoy good fortune
before the storm , long distance guests had left, after the storm the local staff, visitors and musicians also left, others were staying in hotels booked for them, the detective was left alone with the wedding gifts from distinguished guests, the winds and the rains were at war , the noise was deafening, but the sound of explosions drowned the noise of the storm, it was not an earthquake as the worried grandfather thought, looking very tired, the lights also went off, the whole island was sunk in the gloom of darkness , some consolation to the detective who was alert for any attack from anywhere
the bride was an orphan , it was in her home the wedding feast had been given, the pile of wedding gifts were kept in the room, the detective had come prepared , though he disliked this type of job , with pistol flash light , sandwiches and books he liked to read, placing them all before him on the table, the storm broke out outside , the men were drunk
