Things Aren't Always What They Seem.

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 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 their 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 the 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 her the cow instead. Things aren't always what
they seem."
