Once there was a poor old woman. She lived by herself in a little house in a village. She didn’t have much money but she was very kind.

One day a young man named Bill came to her door. He was very thin. He was very hungry and asked the old woman for help. 

The old woman said, “Come in and have dinner with me, but my dinner is only some potatoes. ”

They had dinner together. After dinner, the old woman told Bill to take some potatoes with him. He thanked her and then left.

Ten years later, Bill came back to the old woman’s door again and gave her a bag of money. She was surprised.

Bill said, “Ten years ago you gave me some potatoes. I grew some potato plants. From those plants, I grew some more plants. Now I’m a rich farmer. But I never forgot how kind you were to me. ”
