　　Once there was a poor woman who lived on a hill near the sea. She had no children, and she lived a lonely life. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day.

　　But one night as she sat at her work, the woman said to herself, while the winds blew and the waves dashed on the rocks, “I wish I could be of some use in the world. Can I not do good to someone besides myself?”

　　At last she remembered that ships were sometimes destroyed into pieces near her house, as there was no light-house to warn them of their danger at night.

　　From her window she could look out on the sea. Why might she not keep a lighted lamp at the window every night in order to warn the poor sailors when their ships came near to the rocks.

　　The woman felt glad when the idea came to her. She found that, if she worked an hour later every night, she could have enough to pay for the oil to feed the lamp.

　　So she sat up and worked harder to buy the oil and then she lit the lamp and placed it at the window each night and in this way she saved many lives.

　　She had been doing this for five years without reward, or the hope of reward.
