the rewards of kindness
once upon a time an orphan named charity lived in a fine house with a wicked old woman and her mean daughter. they were cruel to charity, making her work hard day and night.
one day, they sent charity to the market with only a tiny piece of bread for lunch. on the way, charity passed under a bridge where she saw an ugly old beggar.
“i have had nothing to eat for days,” the old beggar said.
charity gave him her small piece of bread. suddenly, he turned into a wizard.
“your kindness will be rewarded,” he said. “everything you touch will turn to gold.”
charity reached down and touched a stone with her finger. it turned to gold.
later, when the wicked woman and her daughter saw the gold stone, they demanded to know where it came from. charity told them about the wizard.
“where is he?” they asked.
“under the bridge,” replied charity.
the next morning, the wicked woman and her daughter packed a fine lunch of bread, cheese, and meat, and they went to the bridge. when they got there, they searched for the wizard, but they only found the ugly old beggar.
“i have had nothing to eat for days,” he said.
“get away from us!” the wicked woman shouted.
they pushed the beggar and he turned into the wizard.
“you selfish women,” the wizard said, “for this, you shall be punished. everything you touch will turn to stone.”
the mother tried to hug her daughter, but when they touched each other, they turned to stone. after that, charity didn’t have to work hard and lived happily ever after.
