Husband and wife lived together for 30 years. On the day of the 30th anniversary of their marriage, the wife, as usual, baked a loaf of bread - she baked it every morning, it was a tradition. At breakfast, she cut it crosswise, buttered both parts and, as usual, served the top part to her husband, but halfway her hand stopped...
She thought: “On our thirtieth birthday, I want to eat this brown part of the bun myself; I dreamed about her for 30 years. In the end, I was an exemplary wife for 30 years, I raised wonderful sons for him, I was a faithful and good lover, I ran the household, I put so much strength and health into our family.”
Having made this decision, she hands the bottom of the bun to her husband, and her hand shakes - a violation of 30 years of tradition! And the husband, taking the bun, said to her:
- What an invaluable gift you gave me today, my love! For 30 years I didn’t eat my favorite, bottom part of the bun, because I believed that it rightfully belonged to you.
