ONCE UPON A TIME, A VILLAGE WAS OCCUPIED BY THE INVADERS, AND ALL ITS PEOPLE WERE IMPRISONED.
THEY SUFFERED FOR MONTHS IN THE COLD, SLEEPING ON ROCKS, AND HARDLY ATE GOOD FOOD. ON SEEING THE STATE OF THE PEOPLE OF THEIR VILLAGE, FOUR PHILANTHROPISTS DECIDED THEY WOULD SERVE THEM.
THE FIRST ONE DECIDED HE WOULD OFFER WARM CLOTHES, SHOES, AND SOCKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE DYING OF THE COLD. SO, HE DID! HE THOUGHT HE DID THE BEST DEED, AND WALKED AWAY HAPPILY!
THE SECOND MAN DECIDED, HE WOULD PROVIDE BLANKETS, AND A COZY BED AND A PILLOW FOR ALL THE PRISONERS TO SLEEP, AND SO, HE DID! HE THOUGHT HE DID THE BEST DEED, AND WALKED AWAY HAPPILY!
THE THIRD PHILANTHROPIST WATCHED THE PEOPLE CRAVE FOR GOOD FOOD; SHE DECIDED TO OFFER THEM A HEALTHY MEAL AND CLEAN DRINKING WATER EVERY DAY. SO, SHE DID! SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD DONE THE BEST DEED OF ALL, AND SHE WALKED AWAY HAPPILY!
THE FOURTH LITTLE MAN WONDERED, "WHAT AM I TO DO FOR MY PEOPLE?"
HE WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, SNEAKED INTO THE PRISON, STOLE THE KEY FROM THE GUARD, AND RELEASED ALL OF THEM! AND, THE PEOPLE WALKED AWAY HAPPILY....
WE ALL HOLD THE KEY TO ACTS OF KINDNESS THAT WILL UNLOCK THE HAPPINESS FOR SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE, NO MATTER HOW LITTLE THE DEED IS, SOMEONE WILL BENEFIT....
