A happy beach day

They arrived silently at the sunny Mediterranean beach. She laid the towels on the sand while her husband took his sandals off and folded carefully everybody’s  t-shirts. Their two children started building a rudimentary sand castle. The Japanese family sunbathed for three hours and they silently got up and left.

The Housewife

As every Sunday she had got up early to cook their favorite dishes: lasagna stuffed with vegetables and chocolate cakes. After a hard long morning preparing the meal, all family sat at the large table. Everybody ate silently. When they finished, they stood up quickly and left. Nobody thanked her.
