Be kind to the poor

There was one very poor mother with three children. And next door lived very rich lady, who also had three children; this lady was so stingy that she would never give anything to anybody without any return from them. 

It so happened that the poor mother was again out of bread. Her children were very hungry. So she went to the rich lady and said, “could you please give me just a one loaf of bread for my children, who are almost starving?” “I don’t have any bread for myself,” said the rich lady. So how can i give some to you?

So the poor lady went away crying. And the rich lady said to her children, “Now let’s go and make niche jam and butter sandwich.” So she went to the cupboard to take out the bread. But all the bread is turned into stone. “Don’t worry about it, said the rich lady. She gave some money to the children and the market basket and told them to go to the bakery and get three loaves of fresh bread. 

The children went off and it took them a long time to return, and she got worried. “Where were you so long?” she asked when they finally got home. “Mummy” they said, that basked with the bread got so heavy we could hardly carry it. 

The lady opened the basket and was shocked to see that the loaf had turned in to stones. Off her ran straight to the bakery and brought bread and caked for the poor lady. “Lady,” she said, as she handed over the gifts, “ I’ll never again be selfish.”

God has turned all my bread into stone, if it would only turn back into bread so my children would have something to eat. When she reached home, she saw that the stones in the basked had already turned back into bread. Since then, the rich lady has been become generous to the poor people around her.

So be kind to poor people around you.
