"Husband's Bill" was a short story by Mark Twain. It told the story of a greedy husband who borrowed money to buy gifts before Christmas and eventually fell into bankruptcy because the debt could not be repaid. At the beginning of the story, the protagonist Tom Matthew borrowed money to buy a new car and a series of expensive gifts before Christmas. In order to show his generosity, he also made a very generous promise to his wife, Harriet: as long as she could pay off all the debts, he could divorce her and enjoy wealth and freedom with her. However, when Harriet started to work and couldn't pay off her debts on time, Tom realized that he had fallen into a huge debt trap. Unable to pay his debts, he was forced to file for bankruptcy protection from his Creditors, which meant that he lost all his property and freedom. Although Harriet initially thought it was her fault, as time went on, she gradually realized that Tom's actions were irresponsible and caused her husband's predicament. In the end, she had to sell the house and car they owned together to pay off the debt when Tom was unable to pay off the debt. Through this story, Mark Twain revealed that greed and irresponsible behavior could lead to serious consequences, and also emphasized the importance of family and marriage, as well as the role and responsibility of the wife in the family.
