A Little Poor Boy

       A little poor boy lived with his old grandmother in the countryside. He is so poor! He has no food to eat most days. He can attend school because it is free.

At school, all students have food inside the bag they bring from home, except the little pity boy. Whenever the bell rings during break time, all students open their bags and take the food to eat.

The little boy just looks at his bag all the times, but has nothing inside. The eating time is always the worst time for him. He always goes to the toilet and drinks a lot of water from the sink. Most every day, his stomach is filled by the sink water.

Until one day, all of his classmates recognized his habit, so they decided to share some of their food and put it in his bag when he was outside. That day, he felt really surprised when he picked up the bag, which seemed pretty heavy. He saw a lot of food while the bag was opened. He looked around, and he knew that all his classmates shared a love for him.

They share food until the little boy becomes a man who can work to survive himself and his studies. Happily, that man becomes a very generous person, and he helps support a lot of poor kids to have a chance to attend school.

“Good friends share love with each other while friends are in need. Be generous to society; one day your society will produce more generous people.”
