A long time ago in China, a girl named Li-Li got married & went
to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li
found that she couldn’t get along with her mother-in-law at all. Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by
many of her mother-in-law’s habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li
constantly.
Days passed, and weeks passed. Li-Li and her mother-in-law never
stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was
that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her
mother-in-law and obey her every wish. All the anger and unhappiness in
the house was causing Li-Li’s poor husband great distress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law’s bad temper and
dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it! Li-Li
went to see her father’s good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She
told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so
that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought for awhile, and finally said, ‘Li-Li, I will help
you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell
you.’ Li-Li said, ‘Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do
‘Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a
package of herbs. He told Li-Li, ‘You can’t use a quick-acting poison
to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to
become suspicious Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that
will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some delicious meal and put a little of these
herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspects
you, when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly
towards her. ‘Don’t argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her
like a queen.’ Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried
home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law.
Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other days, Li-Li served
the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr.
Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper! ,
obeyed her mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed, the whole household had changed.. Li-Li
had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she
almost never got mad or upset. She hadn’t had an argument with her
mother-in-law in six months because she now seemed much kinder and
easier to get along with. The mother-in-law’s attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to
love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives
that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and
her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and
daughter. Li-Li’s husband was very happy to see what was happening.
One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again She
said, ‘Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing
my mother-in-law. She’s changed into such a nice woman, and I love her
like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I
gave her.’ Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. ‘Li-Li, there’s nothing to
worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were
vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and
your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love
which you gave to her.’
HAVE YOU REALIZED that how you treat others is exactly how they will treat you?
We don’t expect the World to change. But if we changed ourselves, we will change the World.
