[00:03.66]A Henpecked Husband and His Wife
[00:12.80]There was once a large, 
[00:14.17]fat woman who had a small, thin husband. 
[00:18.46]He had a job in a big company 
[00:21.38]and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening.  
[00:26.51]As soon as he got home on Fridays, 
[00:29.86]his wife used to make him give her all his money, 
[00:34.15]and then she used to give him back 
[00:37.60]only enough to buy his lunch in his company every day.
[00:43.77]One day, the small man came home very excited. 
[00:48.81]He hurried into the living-room. 
[00:51.99]His wife was listening to the radio 
[00:54.63]and eating chocolates there.
[00:58.28]"You will never guess what happened to me today, dear," he said.
[01:04.49]He waited for a few seconds and then added, 
[01:09.29]"I won ten thousand dollars on the lottery!"
[01:14.80]"That is wonderful!" said his wife delightedly. 
[01:19.36]But then she pulled a long face and added angrily, 
[01:25.50]"But how could you afford to buy the ticket?"
