Being honest

A couple were married for 60 years. They shared everything, they spoke about everything and never had any secrets, except for a box that the wife kept locked up in a closet. She also told her husband the day of their wedding that he should never open it. Often during the 60 years he was tempted to open it, but never gave in to the temptation. As she was nearing 85, the wife had a terminal a illness, and one day the husband brought the box out and placed it on his wife’s lap. When he opened it he found 3 hand-made crochet dolls. There was also an envelope with 95,000 dollars. So he asked his wife about them. She told him that before their wedding, her grandmother told her that the secret of their marriage lies in never arguing. She told her also that every time she was getting angry at him, since she loved to knit, she should sit down and craft a crochet doll. Her husband was delighted that there were only three dolls, which made him realize that he only got her angry three times in 60 years! But what about the money? Where did they come from? She told him, ‘That’s the money I collected from the sale of the crochet dolls I used to make!’ It's good to avoid getting angry, but it's just as important being patient with each other, and of course, being always honest.
