“You’re a great wife, and I don’t know what I would do without you.” And as he spoke, he put his arms around her and kissed her, and she forgot all her cares in that moment.

And, forgetting it all, she sang as she washed the dishes, and she sang as she made the beds.

And the song was heard by the woman next door, and she caught the refrain and sang also.

And as the neighbor sang, a delivery boy who came to her door heard it and went away whistling the tune.

And the world heard the whistle.

And it was all because he had told her he loved her.
