One day, an old couple around the age of 70 walked into a lawyer’s office. They were there to get a divorce(离婚). The lawyer(律师) was very puzzled. A  1  having a chat with them, he got their story.
This couple had been quarrelling in their 40 years of marriage and nothing ever seemed to go right. They stayed together because of their children. Now all their children have grown up and have their o  2  families. There’s nothing else the old couple have to w  3  about. All they want is to live their own life, so both have agreed on a divorce.
The lawyer was having a hard time trying to get papers done. He couldn’t understand why the old couple w  4   a divorce. While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband, “ I really love you, but I really can’t carry on any more.”

Little did she know that, over the years, the husband had been trying many d  10  ways to please her; little did she know that chicken legs were her husband’s favourite.
