An Inspirational Story
To love and to be loved
Once upon a time, a very poor man lived
with his wife. One day, his wife, who had very long hair, asked him to buy her
a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry and said no. He
explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch
he had just broken. She did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a
watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for
his wife. He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give
to his wife.
He was surprised when he saw his wife
with a very short hair cut. She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch
band. Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of
their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
Moral of the story: To love
is nothing, to be loved is something but to love and to be loved by the one you
love, that is everything.
