Jack seems tired walking down the street all his way home, well, he experienced it everyday. This was Jack’s life, because they are poor, his parents has no enough money to pay for the school bus, that’s why Jack walked everyday, all his way home. Jack is a good student, and a good son to his parents. He always prayed to god before he sleep, he doesn’t seems lonely, he always smiles to other people and great them “good morning! ” or “good evening!” and he prays unexpectedly for a mere boy.
He prays like this : “God of heaven and earth I thank you for all of the blessings you gave and to all foods that we ate even if it doesn’t enough for us. God protect us always and make us strong everyday so that we can go further even if we are tired and hungry. God Please help me to find job so that I can help my family and myself. I prayed this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
No one taught Jack how to pray like this, well , his parents were very busy finding money for the family. His father is a good fishermen and he taught Jack how to fish. Jack’s grown to be a good man and he got scholarship from the government and he was taking up law. One day Jack decided to go fishing, as past time, he went to nearby seashore. Jack sets up his baits, he got plenty of fish time to time. After he got enough. he decided to go home.
On his way home, he saw a poor boy, he seems hungry and tired, he was sleeping in the corner of the street. Jack felt pity for him, he said to himself “how can i help him, when i got nothing at all,” jack sigh and was looking to his basket, “i had got only fishes, and what will he do with it.” Jack Sigh again.
Suprisingly the poor boy ask for the fish. Well, Jack gave it with no hesitation, then he left. Jack wondered if those fishes could possibly helps the poor boy, in the next day he decided to went fishing again, and like yesterday he got plenty and enough fish, he took the same shortcut road on his way home. And just like yesterday he saw again that poor boy laying on corner of road. He wants to give his fishes again but he think “if I would gave this basket of fish again, this will help him for today but tomorrow would be another thing.”
