英文短篇故事（纽约）371 One Couple, Two Beds

 　　She wasn't getting enough sleep. She blamed him. She wanted to sleep in the other bedroom. He said, "You can't do that. Married people should sleep in the same bedroom and in the same bed." She said, "Not if one of them sounds like a farm animal." He promised her he'd try not to snore so loud. That night, all went well until 5:30 am. She yanked his ear. "Huh?" he grunted¹. She said, "Your snoring woke me up!" The next night, all went well until 4:30 a.m. She hit him with her pillow. "Huh?" he grunted. She said, "Your snoring was even louder tonight! I'm not sleeping with you anymore." He said, "You can't do that! The couple that sleeps together, stays together." She said, "We're in bed together, but you're the only one who's getting any sleep. If we're going to stay together, we're going to sleep apart."
