It’s Not about the Truffles

What a pleasant surprise for Chaya! She’d just finished helping her sister redecorate, and Libby, so grateful to be able to benefit from Chaya’s training as a professional interior designer, wanted to show appreciation with a gift she knew her sister couldn’t refuse. She sent a box of truffles large enough for Chaya’s entire family to enjoy for days!

Chaim, Chaya’s husband, was also pleased, chocolate-lover that he was. He was proud of his wife’s kind nature and ability to bring happiness to others through her work, and was happy to share in the rewards.

He didn’t hesitate to reach into the box of truffles as he passed by it on his way to work the next morning. Chaim never gave it a second thought when he reached into the box again upon arriving home, and one more time later in the evening when he felt the urge for “just one more.” They were delicious!

Chaya was far less impulsive than her husband. When she came home with the chocolates, she put the box on the counter and went about the evening routine. The last thought on her mind before she drifted off to sleep that night was how much she was looking forward to a couple of salted caramels tomorrow…
