> Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night

> 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,

> The second family had little but was willing to

> 'When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I

> Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and

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