Walking in the sidewalk with a grande pearlmilkshake on my hand.I felt something on my back well its not usual.I just decided not to mind it.After a while its still feel ticklish.Then I decided to look back then what I saw is a small man.Its actually a kid and he's begging for my shake. Honestly that time I don't pity him.I feel annoyed because he kept on following me.Then I checked my pocket lucky to have some penny then I gave it to him.Guess what he's still not contented still he continues to beg me for the shake.I just said to him next time I'll give you one.After that I rode tricycle going home.While I'm on the ride I'm wondering why that child is so desperate to have my shake.Anyways its just a usual beverage.I got home then rested for while.Still I'm in a mode of curiosity.The next day we watched a documentary as part of our lesson in Filipino.The documentary is all about poverty in the country.While watching it what I felt is guiltiness. Why do this people have to suffer this kind of situation.Then suddenly the small boy pops up on my mind the one I encounter at the sidewalk. Maybe that boy is one of those who suffer because of poverty.That instanced I really feel guilty for not giving him my shake . A lot of things came to my mind after watching the documentary. Its like I've been awaken by someone . Like someone keeps saying to me that I'm very lucky. For I don't beg for foods,don't eat the leftovers and some times I even eat more than three times a day.Why not to give some to them. Then I just realized that even by my leftovers I may have made that child happy.Because if I l gave him my shake. That child I met may have experienced the taste of luck that I have even with just that amount of beverage left on my hand .Then I just knew how unequal this world is.But just in our own way let's be equal to them by sharing what we have.Let them see the joy of living without the feeling of starving.For them a food does count than a penny.
