SHOW A LITTLE KINDNESS



An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $100. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death, as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated, as he could find no job; nobody was ready to help him. He bought food and as he sat down to eat; an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help
them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket. With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed for him that God will bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said
to them "you need the prayer more than I do". With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the floor. He
picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advert asking for people with old coins to come to a certain address. He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin.
Alas, the proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed
the young graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth
$3M. The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for $3M within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft, went in search of
the old man and little children.

By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He inquired from the owner of the canteen who told him that they even left a note for him. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them. But alas, the words in the note read thus:

"You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin"
