If we all could be there for each other, this world would have been better than this and life would have been more easier for some people.
All fingers are not equal that is what my Mom taught me while I was growing up, she taught me how to see things from different angles, and how to be of people's help. We can never be on the same level and that is how it has been, I always tell people that I am not rich but still I believe there are people that wish to be where I am.
I never knew I would use this as a post because I don't like seeing someone in need. There was one particular woman in my area, who sells roasted corn and plantain at the junction.
During the rainy season, she always walks around to pick a snail. At first, I never knew what she was picking but one day she came to buy blended pepper and I was there too to buy something, the woman mistakenly dropped the nylon which she used to pick and I saw the snails inside.
I felt bad to see someone still picking snails around the street just to have breakfast. Since that day I had the mind of giving her something every end of the month, which I have been doing for some months now. But during this holiday I have planned to buy little foodstuffs for her and then give her a small amount of money to buy meat instead of snail again.
I shouldn't be saying all this if not for the contest because to me I don't like sharing any good deed I have done for people, it makes me feel like am counting what I have done to people.
I have given her the foodstuffs a day to Christmas and the money as well because I know it is not everyone that has the power to cook nice food during this time, she was happy to see the foodstuffs and I could see through her eyes that she didn't have what to cook for the Christmas, if not that chicken was too expensive for me I wouldn't mind buying one for her but I can't afford it either.
It is good to be good that was how I was raised, and I am glad I could help the woman. Every time I see an old woman struggling like that I think of my Mom and that is why I don't joke with anything she asked from me because I never want her to suffer for anything.
Putting a smile on people's faces is what I love doing because I can't stand seeing people in need around me, life is too short to be selfish about some things. We all brought nothing to this world and whenever we leave we won't leave with anything we have so why not give some other people who need it? That's the good deed I have done so far for a stranger during the holidays, aside from my family.
