The Shoebox (Коробка от обуви)

 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 shoebox 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 shoebox 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 knitted 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 knit 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 dolls, 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.’

 

ПЕРЕВОД ТЕКСТА

Мужчина и женщина были женаты более 60 лет. Они делились всем. Они говорили обо всем. Они не хранили никаких секретов друг от друга, за исключением того, что у старушки на шкафу была обувная коробка, о которой она предупредила своего мужа, никогда не открывать и не спрашивать про нее.

За все эти годы он никогда не думал о коробке, но однажды старушка сильно заболела, и доктор сказал, что она не выздоровеет. Пытаясь разобрать их дела, старик снял обувную коробку и отнес ее к постели своей жены. Она согласилась, что пришло время, чтобы он знал, что в коробке.

Открыв ее, он нашел две вязаные куклы и пачку денег на общую сумму 95 000 долларов. Он спросил ее о содержимом. «Когда мы должны были пожениться, — сказала она, — моя бабушка сказала мне, что секрет счастливого брака заключается в том, чтобы никогда не спорить. Она сказала мне, что если я когда-нибудь разозлюсь на тебя, я должна просто молчать и вязать куклу.

Старичок был так тронут; он должен был сдерживать слезы. В коробке были только две изысканные куклы. Она была зла на него только два раза за все эти годы жизни и любви. Он почти лопнул от счастья. «Дорогая, — сказал он, — это объясняет куклы, но как насчет всех этих денег? Откуда это?’ «О, — сказала она, — это деньги, которые я заработала на продаже кукол».
