A Poor Kid and Kitten

A Poor Kid and Kitten

By Kiko

    Carrying my bag over my shoulders, I stepped out of my home and was ready to go to college. After saying a warm goodbye to my mom, I went to college. The weather was good at that time with the warmth of the sun that embraced me so tight. During the road, I kept on looking at the view on the way with cool green color trees and the blue sky. I saw some butterflies flying around happily and the wind softly whispered. All of them made me relax. I love the weather. After entering the highway, there were many vehicles passing by as if they were chasing time for a dream like mine. Some of them holding a shopping bag, the others maybe went to work and the rest were young people with their uniforms. The stores along the road were starting to open up by their owners, ready to pick up the fortune.

    In the middle of the road, from a distance I saw a small child holding a sickle and sack, he also carrying a loaf of bread in his hand. Then suddenly, appeared a kitten that was not taken care of. Then the kid approached the kitten and gave him some bread. The kitten ate voraciously, then I stopped. My heart was touched when I saw it. Incidentally, at that time there was a shop that was open and selling cat food, so I bought some cat foods and bread for the child. I asked him why he did not go to school, and he said he had no money. I felt miserable. He just doesn't have the money for school but he still thinks about the lives of other creatures. I thought God showed me a little angel at that time.

    After a while of talking, I continued my journey. When I just started my motorbike, suddenly he hugged me and said you have to study hard, you are so lucky. I hope I can go to school and go to college like you.

    I hugged him tightly, then I left. May God answer his prayer.
