Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose Winners of the contest to find the most caring children were :.
(1)
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 just said, 'Nothing, I just helped him cry.'

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about adoption, I was adopted.'
'What does it mean to be adopted,?' asked another child.
'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school.
Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.
'Guess what, Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me.
'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
HAVE A LOVELY DAY !!
