While going through his wife's dresser drawers，a farmer discovered three soybeans and an envelope containing $30 in cash. The farmer confronted his wife，and when asked about the curious items，she confessed: "Over the years，I haven’t been completely faithful to you.

一个农民在他妻子的化妆台抽屉里发现三个大豆和一个装有三十美元的信封。那个农民找到他的妻子问这件奇怪的事。她坦白道:“在过去几年里，我没有完全忠实于你。”

"When I did fool around, 1 put a soybean in the drawer to remind myself of my indiscretion，”she explained.

她解释道:“每当我做出对不起你的事时，我就会放一个大豆进去，以此来提醒自己对你的不忠。”

The farmer admitted that he had not always been faithful either, and therefore，was inclined to forgive and forget a few moments of weakness in his wife.

那个农民也承认他也曾有几次做过同样的事。因此，他愿意原谅她的妻子并忘记这一切。

"I'm curious though，”he said，"'here did the thirty dollars come, from?"

“但我还是奇怪，”他说，“那三十块钱是怎么来的?”

"Oh that,” his wife replied，"Well，when soybeans hit ten dollars a bushel，I sold out!”

“噢，那钱呀，”他的妻子回答，“你知道吗?每八加仑大豆能卖十块钱呢!那是我卖大豆的钱!”
