For the light in heart, from Christianity Today:
In
our town's elementary school at the beginning of the year, the school secretary
routinely collects the lunch money from the new kindergartners. This solves the
problem of lost money. But for nervous 5-year-olds, it took a few days to
understand what was happening.
For
two days, the secretary would come into the room and ask in a loud voice,
"Does anybody have any lunch money for me?" Her question was met with
no response.
On
the third day, one little boy came in at the bell, walked hesitantly to the
teacher's desk, held out his hand and whispered, "Here is lunch money from
my piggy bank for the poor lady nobody gives money to."
