Hungry Old Lady (Re-submission)

Hello friends,

Hope you guys are doing good.

Well i thought of sharing an incident which has happened to me in the recent past.

My days are starting with watching kids playing outside. I love kids a lot because they are cute and innocent & they are unaware about this dark world.

Soon we became friends. They used to me tell their innocent stories while walking towards station.

One day while rushing to office I have seen an old lady with a board. I feel very pity for the old lady as she looked very skinny. I immediately handed over my lunch box to her and it continued for a week. But for the next 3 days I couldn't see her as I was down with fever. Next day I was running late so I couldn't meet the kids but I was happy that I could see the old lady. When I was about to give her my lunch box she refused it and taken a box from her bag. I was totally perplexed but with a smile she holds my hand and said kids have given her lunch box. I was taken aback as I couldn't believe this. That day evening she told me her story how she was dumped by her doctor son after his marriage. She added with watery eyes "today because of you I could see my son in those boys". For the first time in my life I have felt my heart and inner soul overflowing with joy and happiness.


Next day when I asked the kids they said everyday you are giving your lunch box and not eating anything. We are 4 so nothing will happen if I give her my lunch box. My eyes became wet and I planted a kiss on his forehead.

Why I share this is because I would like to remind you that little ones follow your deeds. They observe everything and try to copy it in their lives. If you can't give them good advises try to be good in front of them as they are the promises of future.

Please don’t ruin their future...

Thanks,

Niki
