The Angels Tear故事
    AN Unworthy Man who had laughed at the woes of a Woman whom he
    loved, was bewailing his indiscretion in sack-cloth-of-gold and
    ashes-of-roses, when the Angel of Compassion looked down upon him,
    saying:
    "Poor mortal! - how unblest not to know the wickedness of laughing
    at another's misfortune!"
    So saying, he let fall a great tear, which, encountering in its
    descent a current of cold air, was congealed into a hail-stone.  
    This struck the Unworthy Man on the head and set him rubbing that
    bruised organ vigorously with one hand while vainly attempting to
    expand an umbrella with the other.
    Thereat the Angel of Compassion did most shamelessly and wickedly
    laugh.
