The Power of Love

A story is told of a girl who got married and went to stay with her in-laws. For a time everything went off very well, but as years went by the mother-in-law started making her life a misery, running her down in front of people saying "why did my son ever marry you?" She was at her wits end and wanted to end her life.

So she went to her father and told him of her plight, and requested him to give her some poison to get rid of her mother-in-law. So he gave her some powders and told her to mix them in her food everyday, so that her mother-in-law would have a slow death without anyone knowing what killed her. But he also told her during this time to be extra loving and to go out of her way in pleasing her, and catering to her every need.

So she followed his advice, and as time went by, the mother-in-law was so happy with the way she was being treated, that she kept praising her daughter-in-law to the skies and told her friends that her son was really lucky to have such a wonderful wife. The daughter-in-law was so taken back by this sudden change of heart that she went to her father and told him that she did not want her mother-in-law to die and to give her some powders which would heal her. Her father told her "you know my child, those powders I gave you were only a tonic. What really changed her was your love and attitude towards her. That, he said is the "POWER OF LOVE"
