Kimani and Mwende were married for 40 years. When they first got married Kimani said,Iam putting a box under the bed honey.You must promise never to look in it. In all their 40 years of marriage Mwende never looked.However on the afternoon of their 40th anniversary curiosity got the best of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside;In the box were 3 empty beer cans and Kshs.100,000 in cash. She closed the box and put it back under the bed.Now that she knew what was in the box,she was doubly curious as to why. That evening they went out for a special dinner.After dinner Mwende could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed,saying, I am so sorry.For all these years I kept my promise and never looked into the box under our bed.However today the temptation was too much and I gave in.But now I need to know why do you keep the cans in the box? Kimani thought for a while and said,I guess after all these years you deserve to know the truth.Whenever I was unfaithful to you I put an empty beer can in the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again.Mwende was shocked, but said,I am very disappointed and saddened but I guess after all those years away from home on the road,temptation does happen and I guess that 3 times is not that bad considering the years. They hugged and made their peace.A little while later Mwende asked Kimani,And why do you have all that money in the box? Kimani answered,Whenever the box filled with empty bottles,I sold them!
