Wanting to be
Sunday, November 22, 2009

A young boy, 11 years of age - stood beside a posh red sports car, deeply admiring it as any young boy would. The owner of the car slowly crept up behind him, when within reach, lunged forward and grabbed the young kid by the shoulders .


Man: Aha! Gotcha, what are you up to?

Boy: Nothing sir, I was just admiring your car. I really like it.

Man: Yeap, it's a nice car.

Boy: You must be rich huh?

Man: No.

Boy: Did you buy this car?

Man: No. I didn't

Boy: Did you steal it?

Man: No, of course not.

Boy: How did you get it then?

Man: You see, my brother is rich, and he bought it for me.


The young boy's eyes lit up,

Boy: Wow, I wish...

Man: I know what you're gonna say, you're gonna say you wish you had a brother to buy you one too right?


The boy smiled innocently and shook his head,

Boy: No sir, I wish I could be a brother like that.



Just like I've reflected the past week, maybe instead of wanting that something, why not be that something for others?
