Comic Books and Candy

Fred brought his old comic books and some hard candy to a food pantry and didn’t think much about it. Just a different kind of donation. Maybe somebody would want them. When Fred visited the pantry again Molly behind the counter raved about the comics and candy how much they meant to the children who came in with mothers looking for food. Molly said the children were happy to have something they could call their own. They took their comics and candy home smiling proving little things mean a lot to little people who have nothing.
