The Year of One Thousand Days

One day a woman was hiking in the woods when she came across an old stone tablet hidden between two large boulders. The tablet contained engravings that recorded a year of one thousand days. The woman thought about giving the tablet to a museum, but she figured if her husband had a year with a thousand days, he could take on a second job, do all the household chores, and still have plenty of time to relax. So she gave the tablet to her husband, and he was delighted. During the new year, the husband worked his two jobs, and he was happy to do all the household chores, but with all his leisure time, he fell in love with another woman and left his wife.
