Short Story Journal

This story is about a man named Tom Benecke. Tom was all about working hard all the time and his wife always came second to him. when he got this job working at a grocery store he wanted to be on top so badly that he began to neglect his wife. one day his yellow sheet of paper flew out the window onto a building. this one sheet of paper meant everything to Tom because it had everything he had been working on that was needed on it. Tom decided that it was necessary to retrieve this paper so he put his life on the line and climbed the building. he ended up having to break the window to get back safe in the house and in the end realized that his wife was more important to him so he went to find her and ended up loosing the yellow sheet anyways. 

why did tom care so much?
Why didnt Tom use something heavier to weigh it down the second time around?
did Clare ever find out about all this?

"Tom Benecke burst into laughter and then closed the door behind him." this means that Tom finally got his priorities straight and lightened up a little about work.
