Test of Loyalty

A man slaughtered a large cow and, eager to celebrate, lit the grill. Turning to his daughter, he said, “Go, call our relatives, friends, and neighbours to join us for a feast!

Excitedly, his daughter ran into the street, calling out, “Please help us put out a fire at my dad’s house!

Moments later, a small group of people rushed to the house, while many others, hearing her cries, chose to ignore them. Those who came spent the evening sharing in laughter, food, and drink.

Later that night, the father looked around, perplexed. “Where are our friends and family? I hardly know the people here tonight.

His daughter replied wisely, “The ones who came were those willing to help, not just to celebrate. They are the ones who truly deserve our hospitality.

Moral of the story:

Those who stand by you in struggle are the ones who deserve to share in your joys.
