Poison for a mother-in-law

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 he 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 suspect

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 day, 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. Hu!



ang,



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? There is a wise Chinese saying: "The person who loves others

 will also be loved in return." God might be trying to work in another

person's life through you.



Send this to your friends and spread the POWER OF LOVE.



Remember, if you delete this mail nothing will happen. No one will die

or fall sick. But... if you send it to others your may change their

life.



After all you have got nothing to lose but a lot to gain.
