There was once a man and his wife who loved
each other very much. They were very poor. While
her husband went out to find work as a farmhand,
she would go from house to house to wash
clothes. Their earnings were not much. The wife
had lovely long hair which she was proud of. He
had watch which was very precious to him.
It used to be his father's. Once, the rain
fell so hard for a few days that they had no
work. Their money was running out. Both of them
were worried that the other would go hungry. So,
when the sun came out, they immediately left
without saying a word to each other. When they
came back a few hours later, they were each
carrying bags full of food. the wife asked her
husband where he got the money from. He had sold
his precious watch to buy food for his wife.
When her husband asked her the same question,
she took off the shawl covering her head. The
man gasped ! Her hair was very short She
did it to get money for her husband's food. they
hugged each other and laughed. They had both
sacrificed something they loved for their
beloved. |
