There were once upon a time two sisters, one of whom had no children and was rich. The other had five and was a widow, and so poor that she no longer had food enough to satisfy herself and her children. 

In her need, therefore, she went to her sister, and said,
"My children and I are suffering the greatest hunger. You are rich, give me a mouthful of bread."

The very rich sister was as hard as a stone, and said, 
"I myself have nothing in the house", and drove away the poor creature with harsh words."

After some time the husband of the rich sister came home, and was just going to cut himself a piece of bread, but when he made the first cut into the loaf, out flowed red blood. 

When the woman saw that, she was terrified and told him what had occurred. 

He hurried away to help the widow and her children, but when he entered her room, he found her praying.

She had her two youngest children in her arms, and the three eldest were lying dead.
He offered her food, but she answered, 
"For earthly food have we no longer any desire.
God has already satisfied the hunger of three of us,
and he will hearken to our supplications likewise."

Scarcely had she uttered these words than the two little ones drew their last breath, whereupon her heart broke, and she sank down dead.

But when the man saw this, he prayed and asked forgiveness from the God :
"Please God, forgive my wife's sins, and bring them back to life."

And suddenly God's Angel came, with the glittering sword in her hand.
She said : "God gave his only son for the sinners, and to those with strong belief in him."

And then, the angel touched the bodies with her sword. 

The woman and children opened their eyes. 

And the man run back to home. 

Soon afterwards he came back with the rich sister. She had tears in her eyes.

The rich sister said to her poor sister "Move to us, and we'll take care of you.
We do not have any children of our own. We'll treat them like they were ours."

And so they did.

The End
