Once upon a time, there were two poor kids named Miguel and Maria. They lived in a small village with their parents, who were both day laborers. The family was very poor, and they often went to bed hungry.
One day, Miguel and Maria were walking home from school when
they saw a beggar sitting on the side of the road. The beggar was old and
frail, and he looked like he hadn't eaten in days.
Miguel and Maria felt sorry for the beggar, so they went up to
him and gave him their lunch. The beggar was so grateful, and he thanked the
children profusely.
"You are very kind," said the beggar. "I will
never forget your kindness."
The next day, Miguel and Maria were walking home from school
when they saw a man standing in front of their house. The man was dressed in
fine clothes, and he had a kind smile on his face.
"Hello," said the man. "My name is Mr. Smith, and
I am a wealthy businessman. I saw you give your lunch to the beggar yesterday,
and I was very impressed by your kindness. I would like to give you a
reward."
Mr. Smith then gave Miguel and Maria a bag of gold coins. The
children were so excited, and they thanked Mr. Smith profusely.
"You are welcome," said Mr. Smith. "I hope you
will use this money to help others in need."
Miguel and Maria used the money to help their family and the
other poor people in the village. They built a new school, a hospital, and a
library. They also started a soup kitchen to feed the hungry.
The people of the village were so grateful to Miguel and Maria
for their kindness. They knew that the children had used the money wisely, and
they were proud of them.
Miguel and Maria grew up to be kind and generous adults. They
always remembered the lesson they learned from the beggar: that even a small
act of kindness can make a big difference in the world.
Moral of the story: Kindness is its own reward. When we are kind
to others, we make the world a better place.
