LABOR PROMPTED BY LOVE

Bernard Newman tells how once he stayed in a Bulgarian peasant’s house. All the time he was there the daughter was stitching away at a dress. He said to her, "Don’t you ever get tired of that eternal sewing?"

"Oh no!" she said. "You see, this is my wedding dress." Work done for love always has a glory.
