Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Food for the soul


--by anu.asp, posted Dec 26, 2014
I was walking home from work when a child came and begged for some money. He said he was hungry. So i took him to a nearby restaurant and told him he could have anything he wanted.

He was shy at first but when i urged him, he chose to have Parathas (An Indian bread) and Chicken curry to go with it. I asked him to sit down at a table and have the food, but then he said he would like it as a take away because he wanted to share it with a friend.

So I doubled the amount of food & made it a take away order. When i handed over the food to him, he grabbed it and ran without saying a word.

I paid up and went on my way, but had only taken a few steps before he showed up again, this time with his friend and they both gave me a huge smile. Not a word was spoken, but that smile made my day and filled my heart!
