I was on my evening walk, to a nearby park .I happened to pass a cake shop. I halted a bit, having a look at the cakes.Just in front of the shop sat a homeless lady asking for alms, with a 5 year old child. The child would run into the shop ,look at the cakes and would look at the storekeeper.I heard him ask a man."Uncle, cake", pointing to a chocolate cake piece .The man looked sympathetic. But he went on with his business.The child looked very sad and I felt sorry for him.By then a lady customer took pity on the child and bought him the cake .I thought the child would now gobble the cake .But to my surprise he waited ,was thankful to the lady. Even though he had the cake in a paper plate in his hand, he said "spoon , spoon".the shopkeeper smiled and passed him a spoon. Wow, this boy had class. Even though he was homeless and had shabby clothes,he had admirable qualities. Yes ." A little prince on the street" ,I muttered as the child ran joyfully to his mom.How good is that for Christmas season.
