> Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful.
> When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.
> She had one leg and used a crutch. But as she passed, she passed a smile.

> Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew.
> He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do.
> I stopped a moment and then I said, "Why don't you join them, Dear?"
