While everyone else ignored a poor old lady, a young boy decided to help her out by carrying her groceries. A couple of days later, his mother was surprised to receive a reward for it in a small town in Oklahoma. People would often go about their business and not pay attention to one another. This was the norm until one day, an 11 year old boy named Tom, decided to change that, while all of his friends played baseball after school in the afternoon, Tom would spend time in the library he enjoyed reading in pieces. He liked learning about the different morals.
He could pick up from the books that way he was raiding good people everywhere by Linnea John. The book teaches children to be caring, kind and grateful to everyone around them. It shows how people are good as they choose to do things that make everyone’s lives easier. Such as taking care of others, building other people’s houses and delivering their babies as he walked home from the library he walked past the local grocery store, where he saw an old lady struggling to carry her grocery bags. The woman swayed from side to side as she walked.
Several people walked past her and while they noticed she was struggling, they didn’t stop to help Tom decided to run up to her and take the bags from her hands. Let me walk you home. He told the old lady, the woman Linda, was extremely grateful to the boy that she was on the brink of Tears. Oh dear your heaven sent thank you sweet boy. She said Tom smiled at her offering his arm to guide her.
She linked her arm with his and they walked alongside each other, as Tom carried the bags that evening, Linda was cooking dinner for herself. When she saw a poor homeless man outside her window, he was standing on the side of the road looking thin and hungry. She suddenly remembered the young boy who had helped her earlier that day, a sudden Thug came to her head and she walked towards her front door. Would you like to have some dinner? She asked as she approach the man.
The man was surprised that someone had spoken to him. He smiled at her and nodded. Thank you ma’am. I haven’t eaten in days. Thank you.
So much Linda set up another place at the table for her guest. The man who introduced himself as James Aid. Half the food on his plate for dinner and wanted to leave for half for him to eat his breakfast. Don’T worry, there’s still enough food for you to have for breakfast go ahead and finish your dinner Linda told the man he smiled again grateful for the old lady’s generosity. The following day.
James was sitting outside eating his breakfast when a man in a business suit walked by a couple moments later. He noticed that the man’s wallet had fallen out of his pocket, as he turned at the curb he picked it up and was surprised to see. The wallet was filled with hundred dollar bills. With this money he could rent himself a room for a couple nights and buy himself food for weeks Jamestown, but he remembered the old woman who helped him last night. He saw the man’s figure getting further, so he decided to run after him.
He caught up with a man and returned the wallet. You dropped your wallet, sir handing it back. Surprise. The man in the suit was grateful because he was on the way to the hospital to pay for the treatment of his ill mother. He handed James some money introducing himself as Richard while James was hesitant at first.
He accepted the money gracefully. Thank you. For being honest, may you be blessed Richard told James before walking away as Richard was able to pay for the treatment of his mother, and he took her home that same day for her to fully recover in his care. A couple of days later, Richard, who owned a construction company, was looking for some land to build new luxury homes on the outskirts of town. He saw mother and her 11 year old son.
It was Tom and his mother. They lived in a small trailer Tom. Where are you going Richard overheard, the mother? Ask her son, I’m going to the library Mom, it’s so tiny in here. I can’t take any of the books home I’ll, just read there.
Instead, if that’s okay, he responded his mom felt terrible that she couldn’t support her son’s love for raiding. By having a little raiding Nook at home. The trailer was all they couldn’t afford. As Richard overheard the conversation he suddenly remembered his own childhood, his mom was also poor and, while he loved reading, he couldn’t own any books because they didn’t have any money to buy them. Richard approached Tom and his mom introducing himself as a businessman working on a development nearby, while speaking to them, he found out that they were living in the trailer, because it was the only property they had Richard started.
Frequenting the area just a couple of blocks away from where the trailer was parked. He was developing a brand new luxury home that he planned to put up on sale. He began to visit Tom and his mom talking about random things. What do you want to be when you grow up Tom? He asked the boy during one of his visits, I’d like to become a veterinarian.
I love reading books about animals, so I go to the library to read a couple of them. Tom revealed upon learning that Tom wanted to have a bigger space with the raiding Nook Richard decided to give them a new home, as he was capable of doing so. The following day, he came to the trailer and told Tom and his mom to move out. Tom’S mom was angered. Is this why you’ve been visiting us, so you can lure us out of our trailer?
How could you Tom really liked you Richard shook his head? You need to move out of here to have a new home. He told them. Would you please come with me I’ll show you he said the rich man took Tom and his mother out for a ride. He drove them to another part of town and stopped near a big house.
This is yours, Richard said handing Tom’s Mama King. Are you being serious? She asked him and Richard nodded, you see, I develop houses for a living and earn from it, but I could never let go of this particular one because it was my mother’s people were buying it for 265k, but I couldn’t get myself to sell it. While it didn’t want to live in it, I wanted to save it for something special. He explained Tom and his mother cried.
They were grateful and happy for the opportunity and couldn’t understand why God suddenly blessed him with such a game. We did nothing to deserve this. Tom’S, mother whispered little did they know all of this started with a simple Good Deed from tongue. Every Good Deed makes a difference, and people are inspired to pay it forward.
