The Magic Mouthful Story

 The Magic Mouthful Story 

the magic mouthful sir isaac newton a name synonymous with genius formally stated in his third law of motion that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and while this story is before newton's time it does prove that the third law of motion also applies in our day-to-day lives so without further ado let's begin once upon a time in a small little town there lived a newlywed couple arisa and stephen who were at that moment the happiest couple on earth well at least that's what they told each other i am so lucky to have you in my life arisa and i you stephen aren't we the happiest and the best couple in the world we so are honey i am home steven i have missed you so much and i have missed you let me take a bath and then we will eat okay wait stephen you are supposed to keep your shoes in the shoe rack i am sorry

it's okay i will keep it you go get ready for dinner you're the best all was going well in their castle of love and the young couple were indeed very happy so happy that they turned a blind eye towards the fog of disagreements that slowly began to scurry over their relationship days changed into months and months into years and the once happy couple began to quarrel over the smallest of issues you are supposed to keep your shoes in the shoe rack i will do it okay let me breathe i have just come home no you won't i have to keep your shoes tied your clothes manage the house and then hear you yell at me oh for god's sake arista i have had a pretty bad day at work i don't need this right now do you think i need this i'm tired of you complaining about your work every day while i take care of the smallest things in your life then don'ti haven't asked you to leave me alone yes that's how bitter their world had become and sometimes their fights would turn very very ugly there's too much salt in the curry tastes fine to me whatever don't whatever me if you don't like it then either make your own food or stop complaining oh for god's sake can i not expect to have a decent meal after a day's hard work you are not the only one who works i work too managing a house is no joke then what am i supposed to do eat this salty food it is not salty and if you don't like it then make your ownn food fine pushing the plate aside stephen stood up and walked out of the house and this only continued every day when he came home from work they would fight arisa would respond with bitter words and things would go from bad to worse and soon the couple would not look at each other in the eye now one day arisa took her water jar and went to the fountain to fill it as usual she was so unhappy the great tears were rolling down her cheeks there at the fountain was a little old woman who had also come to fill her jar she looked at arisa and felt bad for her what is the matter my daughter why do you have tears upon your beautiful cheeks crying arisa told the woman everything that was happening in her life and when she had heard all the stories she took the water jar and filled it at the fountain go home my daughter keep this water in the jar the moment your husband says something that might provoke you fill your mouth with the water um what is this going to do you will see daughter you will see arisa thanked the woman and then went home that night when arisa and steven sat for dinner steven said since it is sunday tomorrow i am thinking of painting the fence painting the fence we were supposed to go to the market tomorrow we can do that in the evening you don't have to shout everything that i say arisa was about to scream again but stopped short for she remembered what the old woman had said she ran to the water jar and filled her mouth with water what are you doing god you are acting strange you have some serious problems with me don't you i cannot even utter a word and off you go screaming and shouting at me i don't even remember when was the last time we had a quiet conversation you were always stephen went on blabbing for some time until he stopped took a deep breath and ate his food and as for resa she was glad that for the first time she didn't go to bed with a bad temper this happened for the next few days and whenever stephen would say something that would provoke her to shout she would fill her mouth with water from the jar this changed behavior of arisa made her silence made him realize all the things that went wrong steven missed how happy they used to be to erisa's surprise things started to change for the better you look very pretty today thank you you look decent as well until smiles and laughter and love began to clear the fog of misunderstanding oh the magic water is over well i don't need it anymore but what if we fight again i better get a refill and keep it for the future so the next day she went to the fountain hoping that she would again find the little old woman who had given her the magic water she found her waiting near the fountain filling her jar oh daughter how are you you look happy i'm guessing my prescription worked oh it worked like a miracle how can i ever thank you for all you've done for me i'm happy once more my husband and i no longer fight and things are the way it used to be when we started out as a couple i am so happy for your daughter oh grandma give me i pray you some more of the magic water the magic water yes dear daughter the water which i put in your jar is nothing but the water from this fountain it's the very same which you always carry home this is the secret hen your mouth is full of water you cannot reply the quarrel doesn't escalate and it soon ends that is why your life is happy now instead of sad there is no magic water go home and whenever you get angry on your husband or anyone else for that matter pretend that your mouth is full of water and do not reply that is the real magic go in peace my child you are amazing you know that arisa remembered the advice all her life and lived a very happy life and when she had children of her own she passed on to them this secret this is the reason why the people who are the quietest are often the happiest do not let your anger get the better of you for everything you say or do has a consequence like sir isaac newton formally stated in his third law of motion for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction you
