Rain and noodles

There was an old lady whose elder daughter was married to an umbrella seller, and younger daughter to a noodle vendor. On sunny days, she would worry, "Oh no, the weather is sunny. No one is going to buy umbrellas." When it rained, she would cry, "Oh no, you cannot dry noodles without the sun." As a result, the old lady lived in sorrow everyday.

One day, she met a monk. The monk smiled kindly and said, "Madam, you just need to change your perspective. On sunny days, think of the younger daughter being able to dry noodles. When it rains, think about your elder daughter being able to sell umbrellas."

Found on a calendar. A new story emphasizing the old but always relevant funda of a glass being 'half full' or 'half empty'.
