- 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.’
