A very poor man lived with his wife. One day, his wife, who had
very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be
well-groomed.
The man felt very sorry and said no. He explained that he did not
even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken.
She did not insist on her request.
The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged
watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.
He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to
give to his wife.
He was surprised when he saw his wife with a very short haircut. She
had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band.
Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility
of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
Moral of the story: To love is nothing, to be loved is something
but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is everything.
