Two Sisters

Once upon a time, there were two sisters. One of them was rich but had no children, while the other was a poor widow who had five children.

One day, the poor widow no longer had enough food to satisfy herself and her children. In her need, therefore, she went to her sister and said, “My children and I are suffering the greatest hunger. You are my beloved sister and you are rich. Please, give me a mouthful of bread.”

The very rich sister was too stingy to give some food to her sister and said, “I myself have nothing in the house, “and she drove away from her sister with harsh words.

After some time, the husband of the rich sister came home and just going to cut himself a piece of bread. When he made the first cut into the loaf, out flowed red blood.

When the maid saw that, she was very terrified and told him what his wife had done to the poor widow. After hearing the maid’s story, the husband hurried away to help the poor widow and her children. But when he entered the widow’s room, he found her praying. She had her two youngest children in her arms and three eldest were lying dead. He offered her food, but she refused it and answered, “We no longer have a desire for earthly food. God has already satisfied the hunger of the three of us, and He will listen to our supplications likewise.”

After she uttered these words, the two little ones drew their last breath. Five seconds later, the poor widow sank down and died.
