Two travelling fairies(精灵)stopped to spend the night at a rich man’s house. The man was unfriendly and he let the fairies sleep in the basement(地下室). There，the older fairy saw a hole in the wall and she repaired it. When the younger fairy asked her the reason，the older fairy replied，“Don’t judge(判断)so quickly. ”
The next night，the fairies came to a poor farmer’s house. The farmer shared his best food and let the fairies sleep in his bed. The next morning，the fairies found the farmer was crying. His cow died.
The younger fairy asked the older one angrily，“Why didn’t you watch out for the cow? You helped the unfriendly rich man but didn’t help the poor farmer. ”
“Don’t judge so quickly. Things may not be what they seem，” the older fairy said. “I have reasons for my decisions. I found gold in the wall through the hole and I repaired it. So the man couldn’t get it. Last night，Death(死神)came for the farmer’s life，but I gave him the cow’s，or the farmer would die. ”
