Be Helpful
Good morning dear respected Principal, Sisters, Teachers and my friends.
On this pleasant morning, I would like to share with you all, the importance of
being helpful to others who are in need, through a story entitled: “A Glass of Milk.”
Once, there was a poor boy who made a living by selling various objects
from door to door. This was the way he earned money to pay for his school.
One day, as he was walking from house to house, he felt very hungry and
weak, so he decided to ask for food at a house. He knocked on the door. When
the door opened, he was surprised to see a beautiful young girl. With much
hesitation, he asked the girl for a glass of water.
The young girl understood his condition and offered him a huge glass of
milk. With an astonished look, the boy drank the milk very slowly.
“How much do I owe
you for this milk?” he asked her.
The girl replied, “I do not want
any money for this.”
The boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the
place.
Years passed by. The young girl grew up. Unfortunately, she fell ill and
was diagnosed with the rarest kind of nervous disorder. Many experienced
doctors tried to cure her but all failed.
Dr. Kevin, a renowned neuro specialist was called to examine her. Though
it was very difficult for him to cure, he worked hard and was able to cure her.
Everyone praised the doctor, but the girl was quite worried about hospital
bill. When she received the hospital bill, with trembling hands, she opened it.
She was stunned to see that the bill had been crossed out and cancelled, and
there was a note underneath signed by Dr. Kevin.
“Bill paid years ago
with a glass of milk!”
Dr. Kevin was that boy who received the glass of milk from the girl.
Dear friends, when we do good to others, we will also be helped when we
are in need. By helping others we can fulfill God’s law, for Jesus says in Matthew 7:12, "Do
for others what you want them to do for you: this is the meaning of the Law of
Moses and of the teachings of the prophets.”
Have a pleasant day to all.
Thank you!!!
