Instead, the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.
 When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.” The following night, the pair settled down at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple allowed the angels to sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun rose the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated, accused and asked the older angel, “How could you have let this happen?” “The first family had everything, yet you helped them.

jawaban: I have a good story for you. This story is about a
(1) landlord who had an old donkey.
One day, the donkey fell into the landlord’s well.
The landlord heard the donkey braying so loud that a (
2) passer-by might hear it and help it get out of the well. After a while the landlord sympathized with the donkey, but he thought that neither the donkey nor the well were worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his men and told them what had happened to the donkey. He then ordered his men to help haul dirt to bury the old donkey in the well and put it out of its
(3) misery and they began doing it. Having realized that a few people had hauled some dirt into the well, the donkey
(4) initially became hysterical! But as the landlord and his men continued shoveling and the dirt hit its back, a good idea struck the donkey. It suddenly dawned that every time a
(5) shovel load of dirt landed on its back, the donkey would shake it off and step up! Yeah, every time the dirt landed on its back, the donkey just shook it off and (6) stepped up. The donkey repeated these actions again and again, although it felt so painful and (7) distressed by the situation. The donkey fought its panic and turned it into a new spirit by “shaking the dirt off and stepping up”. It wasn’t long before the old donkey, (8) exhausted, stepped successfully over the wall of the well! You know what? What seemed likely to bury the donkey actually helped it, ... because of the manner in which it handled its adversity. Well, that’s life. If we face our problems and respond to them positively and refuse to give in to panic, (9) bitterness, or self-pity, the (10) adversities that come along to harm us usually have within them, very true potential to benefit us!
