A Magic Word--Part II

2. Say yes when people ask us for a favor

 

Here is another story to tell you why. A poor boy tried to sell some stationery to earn the money to pay his tuition fee. One day, after a long day of door-to-door selling, he was exhausted and starving. He decided to beg for food, so he knocked on a door. A pretty girl opened the door, the poor boy was shy, so he didn’t beg for food but beg for a glass of water instead. The girl seemed to read his mind. She gave him a glass of milk rather than a glass of water. The poor boy was grateful and full of courage to continue his job and his study as well.

 

 

Many years later, that pretty girl got a serious illness, which the local doctors were not capable of treating. So she was transferred to a big hospital in city. Now that poor boy was a well-known doctor in that hospital. When he recognized the girl, he immediately decided to do his best to cure her illness. Finally, the operation was very successful and the girl got well. But she was worried about the medical expenses. When she got the medical bill, she read the item: Medical expenses……a glass of milk.

 

 

Life is like a boomerang; what we give, we get back. I am not saying that we help people because we expect something good would happen to us. But I believe that good deeds would produce good energy, and a good person with a good heart would attract good things happening to them.
