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.
