As
I was making my way home from my walk last night, three little girls
started talking to me. I wanted to try out my new camera lens by taking some pictures of a vine growing on the side of a house in my neighborhood . I stopped to take a picture of some flowers in front of their house. A little girl with very short hair was playing outside in a well worn party
dress and bare feet.
When she saw me she ran over to show me a blue
glass stone that she found.
Immediately, I noticed her torn dress and short hair. I assumed that
she was sick. My heart went out to her.
The three girls showed me the
beautiful sea shells that they found. I talked to them a little bit and
then asked to take their pictures. I took a couple of shots and then
told them goodbye as I turned towards home.
The little girl with the
torn dress ran after me shouting, "Lady, she said, here this is for you for
taking our picture." I looked down and in her tiny hand was a crumpled
dollar bill. Tears came to my eyes. "No sweety, keep your money, I
just wanted to take your picture." I said, trying hard to compose
myself. I don't know their story, but I was touched with the little
girl's generosity.
