Joy of Giving

He tightly held the note in his hands and happily walked towards home
After many days he will have some food today
On the way he saw a beggar woman with 5 hungry children
They were staring at his note
He had no family, 
He thought " I can easily go hungry for some more days,
Their need is more than me"
He gave the note to beggar women 
He felt happier than before.

Only a hungry person can understand the plight of hungry. Those who have abundance of food rarely display empathy and compassion

He's happy alright... But wait 'til he gets home and sees his family's fallen faces... O, boy! ~ Gershon

He doesn't have a family.Need of those kids was more than him, he was hungry himself so he understood their plight and gave the money to them. Have a great day ahead Gershon. Take care. Rama
