The document tells a story about a merchant who had four wives. As he was dying, he asked each wife in turn if they would keep him company after his death. The fourth wife, whom he loved the most, refused. The third wife also refused, saying she would remarry. The second wife said she could only send him to his grave. Only his first wife, whom he had neglected, agreed to follow him after death. The merchant realized he should have taken better care of his first wife while he was alive.
