A farmer and his wife had been married fifty years. One day while he was out in the fields, his wife decided to clean out his dresser and get rid of his old clothes. While doing so she came across a box with three soy beans and $10,000.00. No matter how hard she thought about it, she could not figure out why her husband would have 3 soybeans and that much cash in his sock drawer. When he came in from the fields for dinner, she placed the box in front of him and told him how she found the box, and asked what the soybeans were for. He lowered his head in silence and then after a long time looked her in the eyes and told her he had a confession to make. Over the years of their marriage, every time he had been unfaithful to her, he put a soybean in the box. Upset at first, his wife then rationalized that three times in 50 years was not something that was totally unforgivable. Then, she asked "Where did the ten thousand come from?" His reply was, "Every time I got a bushel I had to sell to make room for more."
