Who are they, Mom?


Bela is a bright and active 5 years old girl but you would not think of things she might have done if you read this story. She is quite nice but sometimes she can be a bit naughty and kind hearted little girl as well.
Her mom is a teacher and her father is an artist. He paints and writes books and comics. Her mom is quite busy everyday with her English teaching schedule. She is a very active woman and of course she loves Bela very much. While, her father, is around her many times since he does all his art activities at home. oopps almost forget, actually Bela has a big brother, named Kanaka but he lives with their grandparents.
Last Friday night, Mom took her to “her favorite” meat ball restaurant because Mom had promised her before. Finally Bela went with Mom and her Nanny “Dee Dee” that’s the way she calls her. They went by motorcycle. It was evening and the road was a little bit crowded with vehicles.
When they got there the restaurant was almost full so, Mom chose a table by the entrance. Just like always, Bela ordered “big cheese meat balls”. She’s got a bit crazy with cheese as a Mather of fact. While they were eating and enjoying their meat balls, a middle age woman and a little girl came closer to their table.
Bela was a bit confused of this situation. She didn’t understand why did those people seems like asking something. Mom said something to her “give one of your chocolate you’ve just bought”. “No it’s mine”, Bela replied upsetly. “Come on Bela , you have two anyway, give one to the girl”, mom insisted. Bela was about to cry until mom said that she would buy another one to replace it. Bela finally gave one of her chocolate and she also saw mom give small money to the woman.
They walked out from the restaurant after that. Mom knew that Bela was even more confused. She knew that Bela didn’t want to give her chocolate. Mom looked at her and smashing her hair while saying, “Did you know who they are? Bela was just waving. “They are beggars”. “What is beggar mom?” then mom explained that beggars are just some of unlucky people that have to live in poverty. Mom also told that what we have given might be used for them. Even though mom would really like to tell that sometimes the beggars were not always unlucky but another time caused by laziness but she only let Bela learn about sharing not only with someone you know but also everyone, even you don’t know them. Mom told Bela that whenever we give something we would get something, instead of lose something… actually that’s the idea of sharing. Mom believed that her little girl could get the message, she looked at her and wondered about things in her mind, … they looked each other and they smiled happily.
