The Boy At The Laundry


--by smiles27, posted Oct 3, 2012

Yesterday I went to the laundry with my friend to collect her dress. There I saw a poor kid begging for food. His clothes were very shabby and, looking at his condition, it seemed like he hadn't eaten for quite a while.

 
My friend and I were moved by seeing him like that, so we decided to help by buying him some food. Unfortunately, there was no eatery or grocery store in the area.
 
We asked the boy to wait at the same place and promised him that we would be back before very long. We went to the next street and found a grocery store there. I bought some packets of biscuits.
 
When we returned to the laundry the boy was still standing there. When I gave the biscuits to him he was delighted and said he hadn't really expected up to come back! He took the biscuits, gave us a thankful smile, and started munching!
 
Seeing his happiness also made our day!
