I presumed it would be a good idea to have a chocolate, as I was pretty low on energy after a sprint jog at the nearby park… I badly wanted to munch something, worn out and profusely tired I sped fast to the medical shop not far away where chocolates were stacked quite neatly. Those chocolates, they used to constantly dwell on my attention as I pass through that shop each day. Without hesitation, I payed and grabbed a good looking Snicker bar, tore it open and was just about to put that elixir of chocolate in my mouth and somebody tapped me.. I was interrupted, pulled out mercilessly from the chocolate aura back into my normality. Clearly annoyed by the unexpected visitor, I turned around to see who decided to intrude into my chocolate moment… There I saw a kid, and a very shabby and uncared one. He must be wearing those tattered clothes for ages together, messy hair not combed for days possibly. He repeatedly kept poking my hand, gesturing with the other hand that he needs something to eat, as a matter of choice, my snicker most preferably. I was totally zoned into the desperate urge to eat that chocolate bar out of hunger and fatigue which made me feel vaguely annoyed. One half of my brain told me to walk away and relish that chocolate while the other half got stuck in an emotional whirlwind, in the next few seconds I realized I was fighting a losing battle with my emotional end of the brain. I had reached a conclusion and dint let him nod any more. I handed over the snicker bar to him, and he was running with it, when I looked further he had already reached the opposite corner of the street where he gave it to another kid who was visibly younger than him. He pointed towards my end and they both blissfully waved at me while running away with the bar.. While I was clearly stuck in a dilemma, while I hesitated to share the chocolate for half a minute, he was never in such a predicament. He did not hesitate for a second to share it with the other kid. In my head he became elder to me, and I was involuntarily smiling watching them happy. I lost the snicker I was about to eat, but I also lost my momentary egocentric selfishness, and I exchanged my chocolate for a bucketful of happiness. I gave away my pebble and gained a diamond in return. It was raining snickers in my heart while I walked away smiling. Blog Link - wp.me/p4Njor-3L
