It was Friday morning and a young businessman finally decided 1 to ask his boss for a raise.Before leaving for work, he told his wife what he was about to do.All day long he felt nervous and apprehensive 2. Finally, in the late afternoon, he summoned the courage to approach his employer and to his delight,the boss agreed to the raise.


   The elated husband arrived home and was surprised to see a beautiful table set with their best china and lighted candles. Smelling the aroma 3 of a festive 4 meal, he figured that someone from the office had called his wife and tipped her off.


   Finding her in the kitchen, he eagerly shared the details of his good news. They embraced and danced around the room before sitting down to the wonderful meal his wife had prepared. Next to his plate he found an artistically 5 lettered note that read: "Congratulations,darling. I knew you’d get the raise. This dinner is to show you how much I love you.”


   Later on his way to the kitchen to help his wife serve dessert, he noticed that a second card had fallen from her pocket. Picking it up, he read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise. You deserve it anyway. This dinner is to show how much I love you."
