As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home =
on her husband’s ranch in Wyoming. She put a shoebox on a shelf in =
her closet and asked her husband never to touch it.
For =
fifty years, Uncle Jack left the box alone, until Aunt Edna was old and =
dying. One day, when he was putting their affairs in order, he =
found the box again and thought it might hold something =
important.
Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in =
cash. He took the box to her and asked about the contents. =
"My mother gave me that box the day we married," she =
explained. "She told me to make a doily to help ease my =
frustrations every time I got mad at you."
Uncle =
Jack was very touched that in 50 years she’d only been mad at him =
twice.
"What’s the $82,500 for?" he =
asked.
"Oh, that’s the money I made selling the =
doilies."
