Question

A man and his wife worked for Mr. Smith. There was a big box in Mr. Smith’s living room. He pointed at the box and said, “There is only one thing you mustn’t do. Don’t open the box.” After saying this, he left the living room.

The woman said to her husband, “There must be something expensive in the box. Let’s open it, shall we?” Her husband said nothing. The woman didn’t give up her idea. One day, she made up her mind to find out what was in it. Her husband didn’t stop her this time. She opened the box and looked inside.
