Success of a happy married life

[silverhairdeere]

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


totalling $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, that?" she said. "That is the money I made from selling the dolls."
