Have you ever been in a scenario where you urgently wanted to do something but didn’t have the necessary permission? We’ve all been there, especially as children, and perhaps even in our own neighborhood.
This beautiful story is about a tiny girl who couldn’t contain her curiosity. She knocked on her neighbor’s door and received no response. Undeterred, she chose to put a loving message in their mailbox instead.
In that letter, she asked a simple but vital question: may she use their basketball hoop after school? It was a simple request, but she wasn’t sure how they would respond.
To her astonishment, when she checked her mailbox later, she found a genuine and nice response from her neighbors. They not only allowed her to use the basketball hoop, but also encouraged her to have fun!
In a society when individuals frequently hold onto their possessions, this act of charity was incredibly uplifting. Not only did it allow this little girl to get some exercise after school, but it also renewed our trust in humanity’s goodness.
