Strangerisagift - the occurrence of always running into strangers who are very kind.

Ally is a sweet 12 year old girl who always runs into something she calls “Strangerisagift”. Ally loved the thought of coming across strangers while living daily life because you just never knew what beauty they held in store from her interactions with them. Ally left her house at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning to take her favorite walk. Just a block away from her house she encountered a homeless man who she had never seen before. The man didn’t have a sign up asking for money, but she reached in her pocket and gave him a dollar anyway. As she was walking away the man stopped her and said “the kindness in your heart is a beautiful gift that will one day change the world”. This comment made her smile.

Having felt brightened by the strangers words Ally went into the store across the street to grab some water. She went to a check out line which had five customers with alot of items. Though she wasn’t bothered the group of customers all said she could jump in front of them being that she only had one item. Their generosity made her smile. As ally left out the store she saw a lady drop a 20 dollar bill. When she picked it up to return it the lady said she could keep it. This really made her heart sing. Ally really loved this thing called Strangerisagift.
