An old folk tale

Two newly married women, neighbours, each longed to have a child.God decided to test them and on an auspicious day sent two dogs ,one to each house.

Both women had prepared a feast.The dogs entered and helped themselves to the food.Woman A was furious and hit the dog so hard that one of its legs broke.Woman B welcomed the dog,feeling blessed that this unknown animal had visited her.

The dogs returned to heaven and presently both women were blessed with a baby boy.The child of woman A was sickly and died before his tenth birthday.God had decreed that she was not a fit mother.

The child of woman B was healthy and handsome and grew to be a wonderful son who cherished both his parents.
