Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The angels were 26 a small space in the cold basement instead of in the comfortable guestroom. As they made their 27 on the hard floor, the older angel saw a 28 in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked 29 , the older angel replied, "Things aren’t always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to he house of a very poor but 30 farmer and his wife. After 31 what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they 32 have a good night’s rest. When the sun 33 the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife 34 . Their cow, whose milk had been their only 35 , lay dead in the field. The younger angel was angry and asked the older angel, “How could you 36 this happen? The first man had everything, 37 you helped him. The second family had 38 but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die 39 help them. ”
"Things aren’t always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we 40 in the basement, I 41 there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. 42 the owner was greedy and unwilling to share, I covered the wall so that he wouldn’t 43 it."
"Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came 44 his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem."
Sometimes that is 45 what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should.
