A Henpecked Husband and His Wife
There was once a large, fat woman who had a small, thin husband. He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, his wife used to make him give her all his money, and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in his company every day.
One day, the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there.
“You will never guess what happened to me to day, dear.” he said.
He waited for a few seconds and then added, “I won ten thousand dollars on the lottery!”
“That is wonderful! ” said his wife delightedly. But then she pulled a long face and added angrily, “But how could you afford to buy the ticket?”
Useful Words and Expressions:
1. henpecked 怕老婆的，妻管严的

Dear Jimmy,
Thanks a lot for trusting me and asking me to be your Chinese tutor! But as you know, I am a senior student and must finish all courses and papers this term. I am so busy with my courses and papers that I cannot help you. I am sorry for that! I can recommend you a good Chinese tutor if you need.
Yours,
Tom
