Adverbs of degree

You are about to hear a cautionary tale of two people who were in love but almost went astray.

Adverbs of manner

A newly married couple went for a walk together in nature one fine summer evening after dinner.

They were having such a wonderful time together until they heard a sound in the distance.

No, no, that was a duck, said the husband.

No, I'm sure that was a chicken, she said.

That's a duck, darling, he said with irrit.

I'm positive, she asserted, digging in her heels.

Just before he said something he would have regretted, the wife was almost in tears.

The husband saw the tears welling up in his wife's eyes and at last remembered why he had married her.

Sorry, darling, I think you must be right.

Thank you, darling, she said and squeezed his hand.

Quack, quack, came the sound from the woods as they continued their walk together in love.

See, the wisdom that the husband finally woke up to was, who the heck cares whether it's a chicken or a duck?

What was much more important was them being together, their harmony together, that they could enjoy a nice walk on such a beautiful day.

How many marriages are broken up over meaningless, unimportant, petty matters?

How many divorces cite chicken and duck stuff?

I feel like every couple should should hear this message because it shows that marriage is much more important than who's right about chicken or duck stuff.

It's not about who's right, it's about what's right.

And what's right is always to choose kindness over correctness.

And if we want to be honest about it, how many times in our lives have we been absolutely, positively certain about something only to find out later that we were totally wrong?

That could have been a genetically modified chicken made to sound like a duck.
