　　Mr. Smith works in a post office. He's strict in his work and gets on well with his workmates. So he has a lot of friends. But his wife whose father is the head of the post office never does any housework. She makes her husband give all his wages(工资) to her and spends much money on the beautiful clothes and delicious foods. The poor man has to save everything. He always wears the old clothes and eats the leftovers(残汤剩饭). He's getting thinner but his wife is getting fatter. Now the woman is so fat that she can hardly walk but she wouldn't stop eating the foods full of fat and sugar.

　　Last week the fat woman felt something was wrong with her heart. She was sent to the hospital at once. The doctors looked her over carefully and they found they couldn't save her. The woman was very sad and she didn't know what to do. At last she told her husband to bring all her new clothes to the ward(病房) and began to cut them with a knife.

　　“What's the matter, madam?”asked a doctor.
