To the Least of These Touching Incident on Children’s Day
A wealthy city church marks Children’s Day with a processional walk of white dressed children. A ragged girl asks for a flower basket, gives one child her bouquet, and later learns of the sacrifice. The mother consoles her, saying she gave to God. Months later a poor neighbor returns faded flowers to honor the child who gave up her blooms. The story reflects on charity, loss, and the spirit of Children’s Day.
