Two amazing stories

Yesterday I came across two amazing stories. One regarded an incident which was related in the book Holy Woman. The book was writen by Sara Yocheved Rigler and describes the greatness of Rebbetzin Chaya Sara Kramer.
Matzav.com posted a story regarding Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Kramer, the Rebbetzin's husband. It is worthwhile reading, as is the book.

The second story was related by Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein in a lecture called Do I Need It or Do I want It. Rabbi Wallerstein describes an encounter with Rav Shteinman and how he learned about the distinction between want and need when he requested a blessing from the Rav.
To listen to the story, click here. The lecture is about 45 minutes. Even if you don't have time to listen to all of it, I recommend listening to the first six minutes to hear the story.
