The Gift f Kindness
Will, a nine-year-ld by, was such a kind sul that he brught hme birds with brken wings. Mney was very shrt fr his family because his mther was ill. Every weekend, Will wuld mw his neighbrs lawns t earn a little mney.
One ht dry mrning, n his way t schl, Will saw a man sitting n the radside with his head in his hands. Nt far away was his truck. Previusly, the man spared n effrts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up t him, ready t help.
Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, lked at Will and asked fr sme water. Learning that he had even nt had breakfast, Will walked int a shp, fingering the mney in his pcket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cst all his mney! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the fd.
The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while intrducing themselves. Allan, a bss with a small factry wh delivered gds by himself, smiled,” The delivering jb is s tiring that nbdy seems t want it. By the way, thank yu fr yur fd. I’m srry that I frget t take mney with me tday. I’ll..”
“It’s OK. My mm always says we shuld be kind t the wrld, and the wrld will be kind t yu!” Will shrugged, “As fr the jb, dn’t wrry. There must be smene wanting t take it.”
“Perhaps. Tday, I feel kindness in the wrld like yur mm says. Maybe she is the ne the wrld has been kind t.” Allan cmmented.
Will lwered his head, explaining quietly his mther’s situatin and his father’s just being ut f wrk because f the bankrupt f the cmpany. Will pinted at a huse. “My dad says we’ll have t sell it t pay fr mm’s treatment. Smetimes, I hpe the wrld culd be kind t ur family sn.” Tears rlled dwn Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But sn, Will wiped his face, shuldered his schl bag, waved gdbye t Allan and rushed fr schl, never imagining he wuld see Allan ever again.
Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lst in thught.
