Expat marriage saved by bell
At a recent dinner, an English woman told the following story.
It was her wedding anniversary, and her husband had given her a large present. Upon peeling off the layer of wrapping, she found a vacuum cleaner box. Where was that diamond or key to the fancy car?
"I thought of divorcing him," she said laughing, "until I looked inside the box and found an antique Swiss cowbell."
Driving home that night, our friend's story turned in my head. How amazing that she could be satisfied by a cowbell. Love it. Only in Switzerland.
