"The story of love" test for reading comprehension 9th grade

Once upon a time there lived a young man and his wife. They lived poorly but happily as they loved and respected each other greatly. One day, the wife, who was beautiful and had very long hair, asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well groomed. The man felt very sorry but he had to say no. He explained that he did not even-have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. The wife did not insist on her request. The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came home in the evening with the comb in hishand ready to give it to his wife. He was surprised when he saw his wife with a haircut. She had sold her hair and was holding a new watchband. They looked at each other and tears flowed eyes, not for the nobility of their actions, but for the sincerity of their love.

The man and his wife were old and unhappy.
