A Kind Act...

[Carmen Elsa Irarragorri Wyland]

A wife arriving home from a shopping trip was horrified to find her husband in bed with a lovely young woman. She screamed at him: "You're a pig! A pig with no honor! How dare you do this to me! I'm your faithful wife!" She was about to storm off, when her husband stopped her with these words: "Wait a minute, let me at least explain what happened!"

"Fine!" sobbed the angry wife, "but they will be your LAST words to me!"
 

"Well, while I was driving along the highway, I saw this young girl here, looking tired and haggard. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her home. She was hungry, so I made her a meal from the roast beef you thought was too fattening.

Her sandals were torn so I gave her a pair of good shoes you had discarded because they had gone out of style.
 

She was cold, so I gave her the sweater I got you for your birthday that you don't wear because the colors don't suit you.

 

Her slacks were worn out, so I gave her a pair of yours that you liked before your sister bought the same pair.
 

Then, as she was about to leave the house, she turned to me and said pleadingly, "Please, please, is there anything ELSE your wife doesn't use anymore?"
