The little girl lived in a small simple house. Across the valley there

Was a wonderful house high on the hill — and this house had golden

Windows, so the little girl wished to grow up and live in a house with

Golden windows instead of an ordinary house like hers.

Live in such a golden house.

She got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill. The girl

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 empty.

So sad she didn’t go any further. 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.

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!
