The Lady’s Lamp

Once there was a poor lady who lived on a hill near the seashore. She had no children and lived a lonely life. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day.

But one night as she sat at her work, the lady said to herself while the winds blew, “I wish I could be of some use in the world. Why can’t I do good to someone besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea.

She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes were broken up on the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of their danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast.

The lady felt glad when the thought flashed through her mind. She found that, if she worked an hour later each night, she could earn enough to pay for the oil for the lamp. So she worked late and earned money to buy the oil; and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives.

She did this for five years without reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds (行為) are often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick.

She was happy with the thought that she was doing good. So, as long as she lived, she lit her lamp each night, and placed it at the window.
