Ngozi walked by the steelman road with her mum everyday. She crossed the streets,watched the traffic lights change from color to color. Also saw the old beggar who sat by the road.
Her mother had always told her not to help the needy. She often said they were hypocrites.
On one faithful day, her mother had left her to go to school alone. She saw the beggar from afar. She walked to him constantly checking around to see if her mother still followed her.
She looked at the man. He had sores all over his body and he looked starved.
Laura didn't have anything to give him so she brought out her lamp from her bag and gave it to him.
He smiled at her. His face full of joy. Laura continued her way. Almost
at the junction, She noticed an accident had happened at the pedestrian lane she usually passes. Laura stood still trying to understand what was going on. Turning back to look at the beggar. He wasn't there anymore. Then she realized.
If she had not stopped to help the beggar, maybe she would have been involved in the accident
Always LEARN TO HELP others.
