ABOUT THE POEM: This is a translated version of an enchanting poem MISSUS IS DEARER THAN RICHES from Tamil literature. The poem is about what the companion said to the wife easing her apprehension that her better half would never betray and leave her in the lurch, in his quest for wealth. The friend of the girl thereby was driving home the fact that blood is thicker than water MISSUS IS DEARER THAN RICHES The land has become barren. Bamboos shrink in the sweltering sun. Dacoits with bows eliminate clueless travelers and share the booty. Stray elephants meander all over. Stay cool my dear your better half  for sure won't confront those dangers in even small measure during his quest for treasure Furthermore, your complexion dusky as mango sprouts will not  become pale I vouch he doesn't esteem riches much more than his darling missus. (what  the companion said to the wife easing her apprehension that her better half would never betray  and  leave her in the lurch, looking for fortunes)
