The couple gave the angels a warm bed and a big, hot meal. Early in the morning they both awoke to a woman crying heavily. When they asked what was wrong, she explained that their only cow and only means of milk, had passed away during the night. The younger angel, once outside, accused the older one of being unfair.

The younger one puzzled over this. Then the older angel explained, "When I was in the big, rich home, through the hole I saw many gold bricks.

"When we were at the farm, I found out that the farmer's wife was going to pass away that night, so I gave the cow instead." God does know best.
