A group of young boys was passing by a fruit garden as they were hiking.

On their way, they saw a pair of ripped shoes a faded colour shirt and worn-out pants beside a tree.

Three boys laughed, pointed at the clothes and said:  “Who would wear that?”

They made fun of those clothes a lot, and one of them said: “Let’s have some fun today.”

The other boy said: “I think it belongs to a fruit picker labour.”

The third boy laughed hard and said: “Oh my God, these must be his best clothes and he changed into something worse than these!”

The first boy said: “Let’s take his clothes and hide behind a tree and see if he cries, that would be a great laugh.”

The second boy said: “Let’s leave a frog in his shoes. That would be hilarious.”

The fourth boy listened to all their conversations smiled and said: “Do you know what would be more fun?”

All three boys were listening carefully.

The fourth boy continued: “Seems like these shoes are the same size as mine so I could leave my shoes for him and wear his; just to get home and if you like we can hide behind a tree and watch if he gets happy?”

The first boy who was embarrassed by his thinking compared to his friend’s fabulous idea; said: “I have a little money with me, we can leave it in your shoes for him too.”

The second and third boys said: “We have money too.”

All four boys left their money in the fourth boy’s shoes hid behind a tree and waited. A middle-aged skinny man with severe sunburn came by the tree.

He noticed that his shoes were missing and saw the new pair of shoes, tears came to his eyes. He grabbed them and saw that there was money in the shoes.

He burst into a cry faced into the sky and said: “God I never doubt that you always watch over our shoulders.”

All the boys wiped their tears and walked home quietly.

    Beautiful story – especially how the fourth boy had the courage to go against the grain and shamed the others into following.

    Hi Laleh, nice to meet you again. I hope you’re all right. A wonderful fable, with a great lesson.. Thanks for this.In the wonderful tradition of your country of birth. There, others had “borrowed” the stories which, for example, could be found in the Bible several times. :-)) Have a nice Sunday! Michael

    Love this story, Laleh. It has so many layers of meaning. The first I see is that God works through us but it must be through those who are sensitive and kind hearted like the first boy. God also works through those who become contrite and humbled like the boy’s friends. Such a great story. I hope your next book contains these little gems.

    P.S. I also think the Divine can work through people who we least expect, not just the kind of people I mention. In your story it is through those who have that ability to be kind.

    A very proud friend once ran out of money and had not eaten in five days. He refused all of our offers to buy him a meal saying he would soon get paid for some work he’d done.

    We were sitting at a sidewalk table when he got the idea of looking in the gutters for change that might have dropped out of someone’s pockets when they fed the parking meter. He decided to walk down to the end of the street first, then walk back checking the gutters.

    While his back was turned walking down the street, I took a few dollars out of my wallet and dropped them in the gutter. He came ambling along and found them. “You see, Paul! The power of positive thinking!”

    Like most people, I have often given people small sums of money. But that day was the happiest for me.

    I enjoyed how you told the story, simply and without moralising.
    You leave the reader to draw his or her own conclusions.
    Nicely done.
