Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to rest the angels in the guest room of the main house.
Instead, they got a small place in the cold cellar. As they stretched out on the hard ground, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things are not always what they seem to be."
The next night they were resting in the house of a very poor but hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had with them, they let the angels sleep in their bed, where they slept well. As the sun climbed the next day, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Her only cow, whose milk had been her only income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel got angry and asked the older angel how he could have done that?
"The first man had everything, yet you helped him," he accused. "The second family had little, and you let the cow die." "Things are not always what they seem to be," said the older angel. "When we were resting in the cold basement of the main house, I noticed that there was gold in that hole in the wall, and because the owner was so obsessed with greed and did not want to share his happy fate, I sealed the wall so he could not find it When we slept in the farmer's bed last night, the angel of death came to fetch his wife, and I gave him the cow instead, things are not always what they seem to be. "
