Gratefulness to God for Everything

         One day during the rainy season, a cute little girl named Fruity was strolling through a garden with her mother. There, a toy vendor comes and asks them if they want to buy toys. The mother denied that Fruity has so many toys and that she doesn’t want to spend money on unnecessary things. But the little girl started crying. Her mother tried to convince her, but Fruity was not ready to understand. Suddenly, the weather changed, and it was about to rain. The mother and daughter started running towards their home before the rain started.

As soon as they reached their building, it started raining. It was raining heavily, and the wind was terrible, like a storm. There were small huts beside the building where Fruity was living. As many constructions were being developed, there were so many workers’ huts were made. Fruity was watching from the porch of her living room, and the weather was so windy that the huts' roofs were scattered and flying away. The little kids were crying because of the heavy rain. Fruity was watching everything with piety. She was feeling bad for the kids.

Then her mother came to her and stood beside her. The mother asked her, “What are you watching, beta?”. Fruity replied, “Mom, we are so lucky as we have a good house to live in. These kids do not even have a roof to live under”. Then the mother said, “We should be grateful to God for everything we have, and we should help the other needy people”.  Fruity agreed to yes. Then the mother asked Fruity a question, “Beta!! Tell me one thing, if you have money and you have everything you want, what would you do with the money? Whether you spend it unnecessarily?”.  Fruity asked her mother in reply, “Mom, can we go downstairs and provide food and necessary things to the crying kids, please?”.  The mother smiled and said, “Yes, of course”.
