　　Jenny loved buying things and it would distress her if she didn't go shopping everyday.She bought everything: clothes, dolls, domestic goods, and had a diverse collection of them.Her husband was disturbed about this, but always lost in their disputes, because Jenny held the dominant role in the family and therefore dominated him.After disputing with Jenny many times, he worked out a way to help his distress.One day when they were walking in the street, he said to Jenny, "I'm tired of living in dispute and division, but I don't want us to dissolve or to divorce.No matter what you buy, I won't dispute it".Jenny was very pleased; she gave him a kiss and dived into a shop.The next morning, before Jenny got out of bed, her husband disguised himself as a woman, took what Jenny had bought the day before and went to the shop.His disguise was clever and people couldn't distinguish his sex.He returned the goods and got the money back.Another day Jenny went to the store because it was going to distribute gifts to the first ten customers and she didn't want to miss the distribution.While she was there, Jenny noticed a woman with the distinction of being taller and bigger than most women, and her clothes were distinct because they were tight.Jenny went over to have a closer look, and found “she” was her husband! She took her husband outside and made a dive for a ditch, took off his clothes and threw them in it.A week later, he received a document from Jenny's lawyer stating she wanted a divorce.

　　珍妮喜欢买东西，如果不每天上街购物她就感到痛苦。她什么都买：衣服、玩具娃娃、家用物品，而且收集了许多种这样的东西。她丈夫对此很恼火，但又争论不过她，因为珍妮在家里处于统治地位并控制着他。在与珍妮多次争吵之后，他想出了一个解除痛苦的办法。他们正在街上走着，他对珍妮说：“我厌倦了在争论和分歧中生活，又不想结束我们的关系或离婚。以后不管你买什么，我都不会再争论了。”珍妮很高兴，亲了他一下，转身扑进了一家商店。第二天一早，珍妮还没有起床，她丈夫就化装成女人，带上珍妮前买的东西去了商店。他的伪装很巧妙，人们无法辨别他的性别，他把东西退掉拿回了钱。后来有珍妮来到这家商店，因为这天商店会向前十名顾客分发礼品，珍妮不想错过分发礼品的机会。在那里的时候，珍妮发现有一个女人因为身材高大而与大多数女人明显不同，她的衣服与别人也有区别，因为它们太紧了。珍妮走过去仔细一看，发现“她”原来就是她的丈夫!她拉着丈夫到了外面，朝一条水沟扑去，脱下他的衣服并扔到了沟里。一星期后，他收到珍妮的律师寄来的文件说要和他离婚。
