　　Donna slapped her husband during an argument, but when he went to the door, she ran over to him, held his sleeve and begged him not to go.He brushed her away and slammed the door behind him.The slam woke up the baby and it started to cry, so Donna took up the slight baby and fed it some milk.She happened to look at herself in the mirror and thought, if she became slender again, her husband would love her as before.So she tried to slim her figure by eating only one slice of bread each day.As a result, she felt unwell and let the housework slide.However, she wasn't getting any slimmer, and her husband slighted her for that.She could tell this by the slight in his voice when he talked to her, which made her feel like giving him another slap.The slide in stock prices also worried them.One day she sliced the ham for sandwiches and sat down to watch the financial news, and found that stock price continued to slide, so she thought, why not eat all the ham.
