Pondering Poetic

A Little Help From our Friends

(Reason #212 I love Leo Buscaglia)

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was
asked
to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was:
A four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman
who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went
into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little
boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
