GIVING
Andrew Loo was born
and raised in poor family background. He lived with his single mother who sick.
Because of that, his mother couldn’t work and afford the medicines for her
health. Due to that, Andrew felt sympathy and responsible towards his mother’s conditions.
One gloomy day, Andrew had decided
to leave home early in the morning to the market place. As soon as he arrived,
he went straight to pharmacy near the market to look for his mother’s medicine.
Unfortunately, the medicine price was too expensive. In spite of that, without long
thinking, Andrew decided to steal the painkillers by hoarding it into his
pockets secretly. By chance Andrew was caught by the owner of the pharmacy,
Uncle John. As the storekeeper berates Andrew about stealing his merchandise, a
soup seller named Mr. Jacob Clerk at a nearby booth comes up to Andrew and asks
him if his mother is sick. Andrew reluctantly nods yes. Due to sympathy, Mr.
Jacob willingly pays the Uncle John’s price of the painkillers. Next, he then
calls to his daughter Diana Clerk to bring the boy some veggie soup to take
home. Diana rolled her eyes in a manner that let us know, this was nothing new
with her father because his generosity to help poor people.
A couple decades later, the soup seller Mr. Jacob,
still running his soup business as usual, until the day he falls down in his restaurant
of some unnamed illness. He is rushed to the hospital. After Mr. Jacob safely
recovered from surgery, his daughter Diana received a bill $124000. Diana was
clearly distraught and unsure how to pay the bill. She then cried at the bed of
her recovered father. Without expecting, she found a note from the young boy
who had been helped twenty years earlier by her father. Now, the boy is
presumably a successful doctor, named Doctor Loo. He has paid the bill in full
for the kindness and giving nature of the man so many years before.
As a nutshell, after Mr. Jacob had
fully recovered, he and his daughter Diana met the note’s owner. They went to
Dr. Loo’s room to meet him. As soon as Mr. Jacob met Dr. Loo, he hugged and
thanked Dr. Loo for his kindness and wares. Moral of the story, no one has ever
become poor by giving. When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone
is blessed.
