Generosity
At the traffic signal, a hand stretched out from a car window. It held a paper bag dangling in the air.
The little urchin ran across the road and gleefully grabbed it. He drooled as he saw a half-eaten burger and some limp fries. He walked back to the pavement and sat down when he spotted the dog. He smiled. He tore the half-eaten burger into two pieces and threw one piece to the lanky dog.
There was always enough to share.
I am taking my blog to the next level with Blogchatter’s My Friend Alexa Campaign.

ReplyDeleteThis is heartbreaking and heartwarming too. You are right, you don't need the riches to be a generous person.
ReplyDeleteKids have kinder souls and with animals around they learn the virtue even more. It is just during the growing up process the elder corrupt their innocent minds. Nice short story with a positive message. Keep the good work going Mam.
