A poor widow lived with her young son in a simple hut. The mother was living on the state maintenance. The amount was too small for her and her son, and yet they lived a life full of contentment and free from grumbling.
On one cold winter day, heavy fell on the village, and the rain water penetrated the hut.
The mother had to protect her son, so she took him in her lap, but her clothes became wet, the woman hurried and took off the hut's door and put it against one of the walls.
The mother and her son sat under the door, and in this way, the rain did not fall on them. The child was very and said to his mother: what do poor people who don't have a door to protect themselves when the falls on them?
Despite all these harsh conditions, the child did not complain and did not focus on the negative aspects of that night. Instead he thanked God for the only positive thing which was the door that protected them from the rain water.
Moral lesson: contentment is the source of happiness
