Tallow and Wax Candle Story
Tallow Candle and Wax Candle Candle Dialogue
Once upon a time a wax candle and a tallow candle were having a dialogue . The wax candle was very vain and boasted over the tallow candle,
“I will be placed in a silver candle stand at tonight’s party.” The tallow candle answered,
“It is certainly better to be made of wax than of tallow but I am happy that I burn in the kitchen where food is cooked.”
All of a sudden , a wealthy lady passed by and picked up both of the candles.
Having seen the tallow candle along with the wax candle, the lady offer it to a poor boy who was passing by.
The poor boy happily carried the tallow candle back home.
After the tallow candle saw the small cottage, it thought, “How lucky the wax candle is to be in its rich home.”
Meanwhile, the mother lit the tallow candle. One of the children said, “Oh, we have light in the house today!”
The tallow candle saw the joy in his eyes and was happy to be in the cottage and did not envy the wax candle again
