The House of 1000 Mirrors (Japanese folktale)

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the

House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place

and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs

to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears

lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great

surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with

their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and

was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly.

As he left the House, he thought to himself, " This is a wonderful place.

I will come back and visit it often. "

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as

the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs

and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000

unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was

horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.

As he left, he thought to himself, " That is a horrible place, and I will

never go back there again. "

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you

see in the faces of the people you meet?

I've seen this one quite a while ago and was just sent this in the mail.

Hope you like it. You have probably read it as well. Yet, it still

continues to carry a good message.

Have a great and enjoy life.

In love and friendship,

Harold
