Burge McCall was a short, heavy-set man with a loud voice. Mrs. McCall was a tall, thin woman with black hair that was always parted in the middle and smoothed down. Burge McCall hated his wife, he didn't like the way she looked at him, it made him nervous. Mr. and Mrs. McCall got married from the wrong reasons, they didn’t loved each other and they never got along very well, they had a really bad relationship.
Mr. McCall had a lot of money but he never bought Mrs. McCall nice things, instead he bought nice things to other women. It made Mrs. McCall even madder at him. One day, when they were fighting, he slapped her on the face, and while she wiped her face she called him a "big rat".
One hot day when Burge McCall dropped into Sled Sather's drugstore, Sled told him that his wife had bought a pound of rat poison. When Burge fond out they had never been any rat problem in his house he began to worry. Burge began to treat his wife better, he was generous and nice to her, he took her to the movies and he even bought her an expensive sealskin coat.
At the end, Burge and Mrs. McCall were very happy, they loved each other and he even called her Honey. I really enjoyed reading the story, it was interesting to see how Mr. and Mrs. McCall became a happy and loving couple, instead of the hating couple they were. I think Mrs. McCall was very smart, she succeed to restore her marriage with no force and with no effort.
