Karma

The boomerang of kindness

By Testimony NwabufoPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In the small village of Willowdale, Jack lived with his family. He was a kind farmer who worked hard to provide for them. Jack's farm was well-known for its fresh produce, and people respected him for his kindness.

One sunny afternoon, Jack met Alex, a beggar, on his way to the market. Alex asked for money, but Jack gave him food and a warm smile.

"Take this, my friend," Jack said, handing Alex a basket of fruits and vegetables. "You must be hungry."

Alex was surprised but accepted the food. From then on, Jack helped Alex whenever they met.

Months passed, and a severe drought hit Willowdale. Jack's crops began to die, and his family struggled to find food.

One day, Jack ran into Alex again. This time, Alex was a successful merchant.

"Jack!" Alex exclaimed. "I never forgot your kindness. You helped me when I needed it most."

Alex had turned his life around thanks to Jack's generosity. He wanted to repay Jack's kindness.

"Let me help you," Alex said. "I'll provide food and resources for your family."

Jack's eyes filled with tears. "This is karma," he thought. "My good deeds have come full circle."

Alex's aid saved Jack's family from starvation. After the drought ended, Jack's farm thrived again.

Years passed, and Alex's business continued to grow. He became a respected philanthropist, never forgetting Jack's kindness. Alex built orphanages, hospitals, and schools, spreading joy and hope.

The villagers learned from Jack and Alex's story:

"Karma is like a boomerang,

it comes back to you,

good or bad,

what you give, you get."

From then on, the villagers spread kindness and compassion, knowing karma would reward their good deeds.

Sarah, Jack's wife, would say, "One kind act can change the world."

And Jack would smile, knowing his kindness had touched many lives.

The story of Jack and Alex became a legend, reminding future generations of karma's power.

The End.
