One rainy afternoon a tourist stopped, bought a candle, and asked why she worked so hard. Ada smiled and said, ‘Because every flame, no matter how small, can light a path for someone else.' The tourist left, but the words lingered, and the next week the stall was crowded with strangers eager to buy the hope she poured into each wick." 1.
