The old woman sat on the antique rocking chair.

Her eyeglasses were perched precariously on her

nose as she concentrated on her sewing chores.

A gentle breeze swept the wisp of whitish hair

on her temples.

Beside her sat her teen-age granddaughter.

She was like a fresh flower recently bloomed.

Without warning she suddenly blurted out,

"Lola, why is true love so difficult to find?"

The old woman with a kindly face stopped

sewing and touched her granddaughter's head

affectionately. After a moment, the young girl

cuddled closer, resting her head on the old

woman's lap.

"Listen and I will tell you why," began the

grandmother.

"Many centuries ago, when the world was young,

true love existed everywhere. It was available

for the asking. Because of this, men and woman

took true love for granted, so God decided to keep

true love." She stopped and smiled as she gently

stroked the young girl's soft tresses.

"God asked a pair of angels to keep true love."

"First, they buried true love in the ground.

But man and woman easily dug it out.

Next, the angels took true love to the highest

mountain. But again, man and woman easily

climbed to the top. Then the angels submerged

true love in the deepest sea.

Man and woman swam to the bottom of the body

of water and with ease retrieved true love."

"So true love is easy to find," commented the

young girl. "For man and woman will dig, climb

and swim."

"Yes ... but finally the angels kept true love in the

hearts of man and woman. Since then, people

have had difficulty searching for true love.

For they look everywhere except in the one place

that they should keep it."
