老梅——游荡的鱼

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 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,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.

一對男女結婚六十多年了，他們分享了一切，他們彼此之間沒有隱瞞任何秘密。除了那個小老婦人的衣櫃頂部有一個鞋盒，她警告她的丈夫永遠不要打開或詢問这个秘密。

這麼多年，他從來沒有想過這個盒子，但是有一天，小老妇人病得很重，醫生說她無法康復。

小老頭把鞋盒取下來放到了妻子的床邊，她同意他應該知道盒子裡裝的是什麼。當他打開它時，他發現了兩個鉤編娃娃和一疊總計 95,000 美元的錢。

他向她詢問。

「當我們結婚的時候，」她說，「我的祖母告訴我幸福婚姻的秘訣就是永遠不要爭吵。她告訴我，如果我生你的氣，我應該保持安靜，鉤織一個娃娃。 '

小老頭很感動；他不得不強忍淚水。盒子裡只有兩個珍貴的娃娃。這麼多年的生活和相愛，她只生過他兩次氣。

「親愛的，」他說，「這解釋了洋娃娃，但是這些錢它從哪裡來的？'

“哦，” 她說，“那是我賣娃娃賺的錢。”
