Flowers
Once upon a time, there were two sisters - the elder one was jealous and hated her younger stepsister because it seemed to her that the parents paid more attention to the latter. But the younger girl loved her sister very much and never complained about always having to wear old clothes, while new ones were bought for the elder.
One day, the elder sister gathered several old clothes in a basket and handed it to the younger one with the words:
- Take these rags; this is all you deserve.
The next day, the younger sister returned the basket to the elder. It was filled with freshly picked flowers.
- Why do you bring me a bouquet when I gave you trash?
The younger sister replied:
- Because everyone gives what they carry in their soul.
