Clara A single woman had just moved into a new house and discovered that her next-door neighbors were a poor family— a widow and her two young children
Clara One night, the power suddenly went out in the area, and the woman had to light a candle by herself
Eli, After a while, she suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Clara It was one of the neighbor's children, who nervously asked, "Auntie, do you have any candles?
Eli The woman thought to herself, "Their family is so poor that they don’t even have candles? I mustn't lend them any— I can't let them get dependent on me!" So, she snapped back, "No!"
Clara Just as she was about to close the door, the little boy broke into a warm smile and said, "I knew you might not have any." He then took out two candles from his pocket and handed them to her.
Maya, My mom and I were worried you might be living alone without candles, so I brought these two for you.At that moment, the woman felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and was moved to tears. She hugged the little boy tightly.
