A touching story...

Greetings to you this Monday Morning!!

Food, Clothing and Shelter are our basic needs and I am sure that if you happen to be reading this email these basic needs are taken care of in your case. However there are plenty of fellow humans who are not as fortunate. They are still struggling to satisfy even these basic needs.
On many occasions, you would have observed in places such as restaurants, cafeterias and dining rooms people waste considerable amount of food. It is sad that we don’t value and respect the food we receive.

Irving Cramer, a representative of MAZON appeals to all such people to be more considerate. MAZON is a Jewish response to hunger-an organization that collects money to feed hungry people. Irving Cramer tells this story:-
“In a kindergarden classroom, the teacher once asked the children, “How many of you had breakfast this morning?”
About half the students raised their hands.
The teacher then asked those who did not raise their hands, “Why didn’t you eat breakfast today?”
Some said that they got up too late and didn’t have time, some said they were not hungry in the morning and some said that they did not like the food served to them. All students gave an answer except one little boy. “And why didn’t you have breakfast today?” the teacher asked him.
“Because” he replied, “it wasn’t my turn”.
“It wasn’t your turn?” asked the teacher, “What does that mean?”

“Well,” said the boy, “there are five kids my family. But we don’t have enough money to buy enough food so that everybody can eat breakfast everyday. We take turns eating breakfast and today it wasn’t my turn.”
