Keith was very excited about celebrating his eighth birthday that evening. His mother had decorated the house with streamers and balloons. She had prepared many snacks like chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, chocolate cake and lots of lemonade to drink. Keith had invited a lot of friends and was waiting eagerly for his friends to arrive. Soon, there was a knock at the door. A boy with matted hair and torn clothes stood at the door, asking for food. Keith shouted, “Go away, boy! Don’t keep standing at my door.” Keith’s mother saw this but before she could say anything Keith’s friends came. Soon, the boys played many games and had fun. After they had left, Keith saw the boy standing across the street. His mother said, “You should invite him in and share food with him, Keith. Your happiness will double if you share!” Keith understood and invited the boy in. He felt happy helping someone in need.
