86. THE KEY IN THE FLAX #Inspirational Moral Stories

 

A very wealthy young man wanted to marry. He wanted a wife who was not

just good and lovely, but also industrious. He visited the house of some

friends, who had a daughter of marriageable age, without telling them about

his intentions. He was surprised to find a large flax bundle, a spinning-wheel

and the spinner stuck into the flax. He asked the mother if her daughter alone

spun and wove the flax, saying it must be taking her a long time. The mother

wanted him to think well of her daughter, and said: ‘She can do this very

fast!’ The rich youth pretended to believe her, but stole the key of their

storeroom and hid it under the flax bundle. He left then, to return a month

later. His friend’s mother said that their storeroom’s key was nowhere to be

found. At once, the rich youth went to the flax bundle. Picking up the key

lying there, he said: ‘Maybe your daughter spins and weaves very fast, but

she doesn’t seem to work often!’
