I always long for romantic moments, like a little girl longing for candies．However, my husband is my complete 1 . His inability to bring romantic moments into our life has made me get tired of our 2 . One day, I finally told him that I wanted a divorce.
“Why?” he asked, 3 .
“I am tired; there are no 4 for everything in the world!” I answered.
He kept 5 , seeming to be in deep thought, with a lighted cigarette in his hands. Finally he asked, “What can I do to change your 6 ?”
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered, “Let’s say, I want a flower on a mountain cliff and picking the flower will cause your 7 . Will you do it for me?”
He answered, “I will give you my answer tomorrow.”
I 8 the next morning, finding a piece of paper on the dining table, which read: “My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to 9 .”
My feeling of disappointment only 10 , but I continued reading:
“You always leave the 11 keys behind, so I have to save my legs to 12 home to open the door for you. You always like to stay indoors and I 13 that you will feel too lonely, so I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories. You always stare 14 the computer and that will do nothing 15 for your eyes, so I have to save my eyes so that when we grow 16 , I can help to clip your nails. Thus, my dear, 17 I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do, I could not pick that flower yet, and die.”
My tears fell on the 18 and I continued reading:
“Now that you have finished reading my answer, if you are 19 , please open the front door for I am standing outside 20 your favorite bread and fresh milk.”
