Imagine yourself, a small child. You’re too young to understand the fact that you were born into unfortunate circumstances. But you certainly know what it means when your tummy grumbles. Sad but true, countless children go hungry everyday–they cannot fend for themselves. A child in need requires a helping hand.
Faith Food shared this heartwarming story about the impact of kindness.
Read what happened below.
I was at the corner grocery, just picking up some potatoes and milk. I noticed a small boy, thin, delicate, and dressed in ragged clothing. He was hungrily staring at a basket of freshly picked green peas.
I paid for my groceries, but was also drawn to the display of peas and the poor-looking child who simply stood and stared. Pondering the situation, I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
“Hello Barry,” said Mr Miller to the poor boy. “How are you today?”
“Hello, Mr. Miller. I’m fine, thanks.. Just admiring those peas there. They sure look good…”
“They are good, Barry. How’s your Ma?”
“She’s good, getting healthier all the time!”
“Good, good. Anything I can help you with Barry?”
“No, Sir. Like I said, I’m just admirin’ them peas.”
“Well, would you like take some home?” asked Mr. Miller.
“No, sir. I got nuthin’ to pay with.”
“Well, have you got anything to trade?”
