Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Thank You For Pointing Out The Obvious :)

At the first art class, I tell my students the rules, including the clincher: only one piece of paper per student.

All goes well until I hear sobs.

“Please?” Begs a student. “Please can I have another piece of paper?” This isn’t turning out. Please?”

“Let’s see how we can work with it,” I say and point out a couple of possibilities. Unfortunately, my suggestions are met with more tears.

I stand there, a bit at a loss, when a young girl speaks up. “Miss? I took this course last year.” Her face grows solemn. “In an emergency, it’s okay to turn the paper over and use the other side.”

(I thanked her profusely for helping me see what was surely obvious to everyone but me!)
