A preacher was told by his doctor that he had only a few weeks left to live. He went home feeling very sad, and when his wife heard the sad news she said to him "Honey, if there's anything I can do to make you happy, tell me".

The preacher answered "You know, dear, there's that box in the kitchen cabinet with what you always called 'your little secret' in it and you said you never would want me to open it as long as you lived. Now that I'm about to go home to be with the Lord, why don't you show me what's in that secret box of yours?"

The preacher's wife got out the box and opened the lid. It contained $100,000 and three eggs. "What are those eggs doing in the box?" the preacher asked. "Well honey" she replied "every time your sermon was really bad I put an egg in the box".

Now the preacher had been preaching for over forty years, and seeing only three eggs in that old shoe box, he started to feel very proud about himself and it warmed his soul. "And what about the $100,000?" he asked. "Oh you see" she whispered softly "every time there were a dozen eggs in the box, I sold them".

A kind-hearted motorist saw a man struggling to change a tire alongside the highway so pulled over to see whether he could help.

The man had a very red face and a dark smear across it where he'd wiped off sweat with dirty hands. His tie was undone and his shirt collar was askew, and it was clear he had also wiped his hands on his once-white shirt. Close to him stood an immaculately neat woman who was speaking in quick, agitated tones.

"Hello, there" said the motorist. "Say, I've changed a lot of tires... maybe I can help...?" "You sure can" the man with the flat tire replied wearily. "My wife is an expert, too. If you will just do all the arguing with her about how this tire ought to be changed, I can concentrate on the dirty work and get the job done".
