The Healing Poison


A long time ago, a girl named Li-Li got married and 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 days, and weeks passed weeks. Li-Li and her other-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 the house was causing the 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
a while, 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 pork or chicken and put a little of
these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody
suspects 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 in six months with her mother-in-law, who now seemed
much kinder and easier to get along with. The mother-in-law's attitude
toward Li-Li has also 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 Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my
mother-in-law! She has 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."

MORAL : Friends, have you ever realized that how you treat others is
exactly how they will treat you? In China it is said : The person who
loves others will also be loved.
