One day, the Husband was preparing to leave for work when his wife approached him with a request.

She asked him to buy her a comb so that she can take better care of her long hair.

Her husband, with a heavy heart, had to refuse due to their financial constraints, explaining his inability to even fix his watch.

Upon hearing this, the wife did not press further, understanding their situation.

Next day, the husband decided to sell his damaged watch to fulfill his wife's wish.

With the money he got, he bought a beautiful comb for his wife, feeling a sense of joy and accomplishment.

Upon his return, he was surprised to see his wife's hair cut short. He asked her the reason for this sudden change.

His wife smiled and presented him a new strap for his watch, revealing that she sold her hair to buy it.

Tears welled up in their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the immense love they shared.

Despite their hardships, they found happiness in the sacrifices they made for each other.

They learned that to love and to be loved, one must be willing to give without expecting anything in return.

And in that moment, despite their poverty, they felt like the richest couple in the world, for they had a wealth of love.
