Helping a Fellow Traveler

--by BISSONG, posted

One sunny day, a day I will never forget, I was leaving the campus gonig back home tired and hungry. I had no food to eat and had no money. I saw an old man carrying luggage both on his head and on his back. I by-passed this man and moved some distance ahead of him. But I could feel the heart beat of this man moving faster than ever, and something told me to go back and help this man. But I resisted this voice for several times.

When i finally took the decision to help him despite the tiredness, I turned to him and took the luggage off his head. This man spoke gently to me and said, "thank you."

We managed to support each other until we got home. When i turned to go, this man said, "son, take this is for you."

When I turned, behold it was one of the largest pearls this man had harvested from his farm.

What a miracle. This pearl was my food for the day. What a glorious day.
