Once upon a time, there were two sisters, one of whom had no children and was rich, and 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; thou art rich, give me a mouthful of bread."
从前，有两个姐姐，一个没有孩子，是丰富的，和其他有五是一个寡妇，所以穷以至于没有足够的食物来满足自己和她的孩子。在她需要的，因此，她去了她的妹妹，说，“我和我的孩子正在遭受最大的渴望;你是富足的，给我一口面包。
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.

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(留心，听明白) to our supplications(恳求，起到) 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.
