Stories of Kindness from Around the World

The Other Way Around


--by NoOnesNME, posted Feb 3, 2017
As we walked out of a convenience store, we crossed paths with a homeless man coming into the store.

For the first time ever, he stopped us not to ask for money, but to share with my girls a quarter for one, and a nickel for the other. He complimented them on how good they smelled and how pretty they were. The smiles everyone of us shared that moment were genuinely priceless.

When we give, we give a little part of us. But the homeless man probably gave 100% of his asset.

It was your humility to let your girls receive priceless gift.
