A young man and a young girl get married (結婚). The man has much money, and he likes reading very much in his spare (空閑的) time. The woman is very beautiful, but she doesn’t have anything to do because the servant(仆人)does everything for her every day. She isn’t happy, either. Do you know the reason? Her husband is busy reading his books and has no time to stay with her every day.
