If you have two pennies..........

"If you have two pennies spend one on a loaf and one on a flower. The loaf will give you life, and the flower a reason for living"


I’ve seen this proverb at least three ways.

1.  When you have only two pennies left in the world, 
buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other.

2.  If you have two pennies, spend one on bread to give you life, 
and one on a flower to give meaning to your life. –

3.  If you have two pennies, spend one on bread and the other on a flower. 
The bread will sustain life. The flower will give you a reason to live.
