A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had
shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no
secrets from each other except that the
little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had
cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day
the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not
recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man
took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed
that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened
it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling
$95,000.
He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be
married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret of a happy
marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with
you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."
The little old
man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two Precious dolls
were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those
years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness.
"Honey," he said, '"that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from selling the dolls."
