    The Little Boy’s Love

    A very good morning to the honourable judges, loyal


    timekeeper, dear teachers and my fellow friends. Today, I am
    going to tell a story entitled ‘The Little Boy’s Love’.

    One day, Joe was walking around in a mall doing some


    shopping. While he was paying for his items at the counter, he
    saw a cashier talking to a boy who was around 5 to 6 years old.

    The cashier said, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough
    money to buy this doll.” Then, the little boy turned to Joe and
    asked, “Uncle, is it true?”

    Joe counted his cash and replied, “Yes, I’m sorry to tell you
    that you don’t have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.” The
    little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Joe then asked
    him who he wished to give this doll to.

    “It’s the doll that my sister loved the most and wanted so
    much. I want to give it to her for her birthday. I have to give the
    doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she
    goes there.” His eyes were looking sad while saying this.
    The little boy further explained. “My Sister has gone to be
    with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon
    too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it
    to my sister.”

    Joe’s heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at him


    and said, “I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to
    wait until I come back from the mall.”

    After that, the little boy looked again at the doll with sad
    eyes. Joe quickly reached for the little boy’s wallet and added
    some money in it without him seeing. He said to the little boy,
    “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the
    doll?”

    So, they started to count the money. To the boy’s surprise,


    there was enough money to buy the doll and even some spare
    money. The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me enough
    money!”

    Then, he looked at Joe and added, “Last night before I went


    to sleep, I asked God to make sure I had enough money to buy
    this doll. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy
    a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God for too
    much. But now He gave me enough money to buy the doll and a
    white rose. Yay! My mommy loves white roses.”
    When Joe left the mall, he still could not get the little boy
    out of his mind. Then, he remembered that he read a local
    newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a
    truck hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The
    little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical
    state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the
    life sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be
    able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little
    boy?

    The next morning, Joe bought a bunch of white roses and


    went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was
    exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
    She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her
    hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her
    chest. Joe eventually left the place, teary-eyed, with a heavy
    heart…

    Dear friends, the love that the little boy had for his mother
    and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a
    fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from
    him… I hope everyone will respect life, follow and obey rules. Do
    not make the mistakes which cost others something that can
    never be replaced. Lastly, always have a giving hand and extend
    your help to those in need and sorrow.

    Thank you!
