The Man and his Wife’s Secret Box

There lived a man and a woman, happily married for over 60 years. They had shared or talked about everything with each other, leaving no secrets held, except about the shoe-box the old woman had kept atop her closet. She had cautioned her man never to open it or discuss about it.

One day when the woman got seriously ill and was counting her days, her husband ought to bring the shoe box to her bedside and sought her permission to open it. She agreed and on opening it, he found two crocheted dolls and coins. She then revealed to him that when they were getting married, her mother advised her never to argue with her husband. If ever she got angry with him, she should make a doll. The man seeing only two dolls in the box became emotional thinking she had only been angry with him twice in the past 40 years. Then he asked her about the coins. She then informed him that it was made from selling the rest of the dolls that were earlier the contents of the shoe box.
