    Having been married ten years and still living in an apartment, the wife would often complain about anything, as she was tired of saving 1 every penny 2 to buy a "dream home."Trying to placate 3 (安抚)her, the husband found a new apartment, within their budget. However, after the first week, she began complaining again. Joel, she said, I don't like this place at all. There are no curtains in the bathroom. The neighbors can see me every time I take a bath.

    Don't worry. replied her husband. If the neighbors do see you, they'll buy curtains.
