The little girl lived in a small, very
simple, poor house on a hill and
as she grew she would play in
the small garden and as she
grew she was able to see over
the garden fence and across the
valley to a wonderful house high
on the hill – and this house had
golden windows, so golden and
shining that the little girl would
dream of how magic it would be
to grow up and live in a house
with golden windows instead of
an ordinary house like hers.
And although she loved her
parents and her family, she
yearned to live in such a golden
house and dreamed all day
about how wonderful and
exciting it must feel to live there.
When she got to an age where
she gained enough skill and
sensibility to go outside her
garden fence, she asked her
mother if she could go for a bike
ride outside the gate and down
the lane. After pleading with her,
her mother finally allowed her to
go, insisting that she kept close
to the house and didn't wander
too far. The day was beautiful
and the little girl knew exactly
where she was heading! Down
the lane and across the valley,
she rode her bike until she got
to the gate of the golden house
across on the other hill.
As she dismounted her bike and
lent it against the gate post, she
focused on the path that lead to
the house and then on the
house itself, and was so
disappointed as she realized all
the windows were plain and
rather dirty, reflecting nothing
other than the sad neglect of the
house that stood derelict.
So sad she didn't go any further
and turned, heart broken as she
remounted her bike. As she
glanced up she saw a sight to
amaze her, there across the way
on her side of the valley was a
little house and its windows
glistened golden as the sun
shone on her little home.
She realized that she had been
living in her golden house and
all the love and care she found
there was what made her home
the 'golden house'. Everything
she dreamed was right there in
front of her nose!
