Success To A Happy Married Life..

[Guest guest]

A man and a woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had

shared 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 ahappy 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, that? " she said. " That " s the money I made from selling the

dolls. "
