Answer:
Short story writing on the moral "as you sow, so you reap".
Explanation:
Once there was an old woman who had nothing to eat. But though poor, she would never refuse to help anyone who's in need. So, whenever she could get help from others, she would help those in need in return.
One day, while begging for food along the road, she came across a rich lady who had been observing her for some time. She was impressed by the older woman's generous heart, and so, she decided to take her to her charity home. But to her surprise, the old woman refused, saying that if she leaves, then there will be no one to help the poor, roadside children and they'll be left orphaned, even though they were not her real children. This greatly touched the rich lady and decided to take all the children along with the old woman. Not only did the old woman got home for everyone, but she was also made the matron of the charity home, and became known as the mother of that home.
The old woman's big heart led to her rise from poverty to becoming a respected 'mother' for everyone. She also inspired others to be a helping hand for others in need. This perfectly expresses the saying "as you sow, so shall you reap". If you show kindness and love to others, the same thing will happen to you in return.
