don't stop at the feet (You'll see).


Two traveling angels stopped to spend the
night in the home of a wealthy family.


The family was rude and refused to let the
angels stay in the mansion's guest room.


Instead the angels were given a small
space in the cold basement.


As they made their bed on the hard floor,
the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired
it.


When the younger angel asked why, the
older angel replied,


"Things aren't always what they seem."


The next night the pair came to rest at
the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer
and his wife.


After sharing what little food they had
the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where
they could have a good night's rest.


When the sun came up the next morning the
angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their
only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay
dead in the field.


The younger angel was infuriated and asked
the older angel how could you have let this happen?


The first man had everything, yet you
helped him, she accused.


The second family had little but was
willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.


"Things aren't always what they seem," the
older angel replied.


"When we stayed in the basement of the
mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole
in the wall.


Since t he owner was so obsessed with
greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I
sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."


"Then last night as we slept in the
farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I
gave him the cow instead.


Things aren't always what they seem."
