"If you don’t see<br />

what you’re looking for,<br />

you’re in the right place."<br />

A man and a woman had been<br />

married for more than 60 years.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y had shared everything. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

had talked about everything. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

had kept no secrets from each<br />

other except for the little box that<br />

sat up in the closet.<br />

For all of these years he had<br />

never thought about the box, but<br />

one day the little old women got<br />

very sick and the doc<strong>to</strong>r said she<br />

would not recover.<br />

In trying <strong>to</strong> sort out their affairs,<br />

the little old man <strong>to</strong>ok down the<br />

shoebox and <strong>to</strong>ok it <strong>to</strong> his wife's<br />

bedside.<br />

She agreed that it was time that<br />

he should know what was in the<br />

box. When he opened it, he found<br />

two crocheted dolls and a stack of<br />

money <strong>to</strong>talling $95,000.<br />

He asked her about the contents.<br />

"When we were <strong>to</strong> be married,"<br />

she said, "my Grandmother <strong>to</strong>ld me<br />

the secret of a happy marriage was<br />

<strong>to</strong> never argue. She <strong>to</strong>ld me that if<br />

I ever got angry with you, I should<br />

just keep quiet and crochet a doll."<br />

<strong>The</strong> little old man was so moved<br />

that he had <strong>to</strong> fight back tears. Only<br />

two precious dolls were in the box.<br />

She had only been angry with him<br />

two times in all those years of living<br />

and loving.<br />

"Honey," he said, " that explains<br />

the dolls, but what about all this<br />

money? Where did it come from?"<br />

"Oh," she said, "that's the money<br />

I made from selling the dolls."<br />
