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(shut king) and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guestroom. Instead(doi tai) the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the old angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the young 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(chan chit) 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 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(only) income, lay dead in the field. The young angel was infuriated(angry) 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 share everything, and you let the cow die."
" Things aren't always what they seem," the old 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(kwan yiu) with greed(tam nam) 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 farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead(doi tai). Things aren't always what they seem."
