A light for a lamp(Favourite tale from Chinese)
A long, long time ago, a kind ancient woman lived next door to a young woman. The young woman had a very fierce mother-in-law. One day, the mother-in-law chased the young woman from the house. She said she had stolen some food. The young woman went to see the ancient woman living next door.“Don’t be miserable!” the ancient woman said. “You can stay with me. I will reckon of a way to make your mother-in-law question you to return.”A few evening afterwards, she called at the mother-in-law’s house. She carried a lamp in her hand.“Ah!” she cried. “My dogs have stolen some food. Can you please give me a light for my lamp! I want to go and look for them. When I find them, I shall give them a excellent beating. They have given me a lot of distress.”Afterwards, the mother-in-law thought about what she had said. “Perhaps my daughter-in-law did not steal the food,” she said. “Anyway, she really does not look like a thief”She chose to question her to return home.Several days later, the young woman met the ancient woman again. She thanked her for her help. “It is nothing,” the ancient woman answered. “But now you will know that-it is not always simple to make people believe the truth.”
