There were two houses in a neighborhood — one belonged to a rich family and the other to a poor family.
One day, the poor family’s wife went to the rich neighbor to borrow some sugar.
The rich lady kindly gave her the sugar.
The next day, the rich lady went to the poor neighbor’s house to borrow some salt.
The poor lady immediately gave her the salt.
Seeing this, the rich lady’s husband calmly asked her:
“We already had salt at home. Why did you borrow it from them?”
The rich lady replied with a thoughtful smile:
“Yes, we have everything. But the poor family does not always get a chance to give something to others.
When I asked for salt, they felt happy that they could help us.
I did it so they could feel that they too have value in our lives and in this neighborhood.”
