A poor woman lived in the village with her family, she had no means of subsistence, her children wore old lakhs of clothes, but she did not forget to do good: every day she baked two fresh khlibin - one for her own family and the other for casual passers-by. The woman would put this bread on the window sill and anyone could take it. When she put this piece of bread on the window sill, she asked for a blessing for her son, who went out into the world in search of a better life. Months passed, and the mother had no idea what happened to her child. One day she noticed that an old man had taken her another bread for several times in a row, and he always promised: "The evil you do will stay with you, but the good will return to you!
The woman was disturbed that for many days the man had been eating her bread and had never once offered a word of gratitude. Then she decided that she would not allow this to continue.
I need to get rid of this unpleasant old man, maybe other people need the bread. So she took the bran and put it on the window sill. The woman continued to be tormented by her conscience and she took the cake from the window and threw it into the fire, and then baked some fresh bread.
A few years later, the old man came to the window sill, took the bread and went away.
That evening someone knocked on the door. The woman was very surprised when she saw her thin and dark son on the threshold.
"Mom, something extraordinary happened today! I was very hungry and thought I would never make it home. Through weakness I fell off my feet and could not move my body. Then an old man came up to me and gave me a whole piece of bread. He said that he had food for the whole day, but I needed it.
The mother then immediately understood who her son was talking about and immediately became frightened because fear filled her soul. Today she could have made the worst mistake of her life - she could have cut off her own son. Then the woman understood the meaning of the words: "The evil you do stays with you, but the good comes back to you!
Moral of the story:
Even if you think that your good deeds are not appreciated by others, do not stop doing them. Sooner or later you will get more.
