Advice

The wife told her husband that when they were getting married, her grandmother had given her a piece of advice. She had told her about the secret of a long-lasting marriage and what it takes to have a forever-kind-of-relationship. 

Inside

And then she said that all of these secrets were inside the box and she wanted her husband to finally open it and see it. And when the husband wiped his tears  to look what was inside the box, he was confused. 

Bewildered

Inside the shoe-box were two crocheted dolls and $95,000 in cash. The question now was, why and how? The husband could not understand a thing and his reflex was that where did so much money come from and to ask what these things meant.

Question

Since so many years he had tried to keep his calm about the shoe-box and not interrupt in the matter but now he wanted to know everything. He wanted his wife to speak but she just smiled at his reaction. 

The Mystery

The wife told the husband the secret that her grandmother had told her. She said, “It was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.”

Just Two?

But then, was she angry with her husband only twice in 60 years, now that she had only two dolls? That could not be possible no matter how plausible a relationship the two must have shared.
