Last week, as I was having breakfast in my truck, I noticed a boy, sitting by the road with his dog. He was holding a sign asking for money or food to help feed him and his dog. People drove past ignoring them.
When I finished my breakfast, I decided to buy some food for them. As I was leaving, I pulled up beside him and handed him a bag of breakfast and a small bag of dog food. I asked him if he would be willing to work hard for the pay. He immediately said that he could be the hardest worker I had ever seen.
The next day he carried wood around and fetched tools for me all day without complaining once. His dog simply followed him. During the day I learned about his sad experiences. When the boy was 15 years old, his mother became critically ill. His father, who took care of the boy's mother, could not go out to work, and the poor boy had to drop out of school because of being unable to afford his school tuition. Being too young, he failed to find a job. he had to beg near his home to help his parents.
A month later I paid him $2000, the look on his face was well worth it. My aimless act of kindness seemed to put spark (活力) back in his eyes.

Tears of joy flooded the boy's eyes.
