My little son, Mark, saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents for those he loved. In December, Mark said that he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basketball and went off on his own while I was waiting in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. The salesman told him how much he needed to pay then Mark reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there!There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood in the middle of the store, tears rolling down his cheeks. His whole body was shaking with tears on his face. Then an amazing thing happened. A customer in the store came up to Mark. She knelt and took him in her arms.

"You should do me the greatest favor if you accept my money, "said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful present you could ever give me. I only ask that one day you pass it on. One day, when you are grown-up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help this other person, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now. "

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran to the checkout counter as fast as he could. I think we all enjoyed our gifts that year as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

I would like to say "thank you"to that very kind woman. I would like to tell her that four years later Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the Oakland fire—and he thought of her. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
