what a beautiful thing

One day a young couple came to our house and asked for me. They gave me a large amount of money.I asked them, "Where did you get so much money?"

They answered, "We got married two days ago. Before we got married we had decided not to celebrate the wedding, not to buy wedding clothes, not to have a reception or a honeymoon. We wanted to give you the money we saved."

I know what such a decision meant,especially for a Hindu family.That is why I asked them, "But how did you think of such a thing?"

"We love each other so much" they answered, "that we wanted to share the joy of our love with those you serve."

To share: what a beautiful thing !
