In a cold winter, a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy(破产). The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife. So she thought,"He doesn't love me any more; he just thinks about his work."

One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door. "Let me take it first, OK?" "Why not let me take it first?" she asked. "I'm tired, dear. You take it later, OK?" She was very sad.

On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:

Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn't as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. I found that if one person took the shower first, the bathroom could get a little warmer. So I always rushed to the bathroom first.
