A kind woman baked an extra loaf of bread hungry passer-by. She placed it beside a window and prayed for her son. He went to a faraway land.

A tramp(流浪汉)would always came to take away the bread. As he left, he would always say, "The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you. "

The woman felt irritated. '"Not even a word of thanks'", she said to herself.

Finally the woman became so angry that she decided to add poison to the loaf. As she was placing it, her hands shook. "Look at what I've done!" she said. She immediately threw the bread away and made another one.

As usual, the tramp came and picked up the bread.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the woman's son was standing in the doorway. He was tired and weak. "Mom, it's a miracle that I can come back home! I nearly starved to death as I got closer. Thanks to an old tramp, he gave me a loaf of bread. He said that he got it from a nice lady. "

The woman's face turned pale at once. The tramp's words suddenly came back to her, "The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you. "
