DAY38Giving Is Getting

On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking back home from a pizza store.

We had bought many things.

We were dressed warmly, and I was feeling a little tired as I was carrying our shopping bag, so I decided to throw something away.

I was walking towards a dustbin when I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us.

He headed over to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it.

I suddenly felt very sorry because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy.

I walked up to him and handed the drink and some bread over to him, which surprised him.

The man looked at me in surprise and took what I gave him.

A huge smile appeared on his face.

I felt I couldn't be happier with myself.

But then he said, "Wow, this is my son's lucky day!"

With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike.

I even heard him singing as he rode away.

I got a warm feeling inside.

I now understand what it means by the saying, "Giving is getting".

Though it was only a little action, I got and learned more in those two minutes than I did in the rest of the month.

Everyone in the world needs help.

Everyone can give help and everyone can be helped.

The look of that man's happiness appears in my mind whenever I have the chance to do something nice.

This is the power of kindness.
