The pleasure of sharing

Amit:

Hey, your pencil is so small that you can't even hold it.
These words catch my attention. I turn my neck towards the girl holding that pencil and declare - she must have chewed the bigger half of the pencil.

No! Actually she has shared the other half with her brother, confirms Abhilasha, who is handling that lot of kids. Now I see a quiet boy solving multiplication sums holding the other half of the pencil. We are so much carried away by our limited imagination that the truth becomes almost the last thing we would think of!

So many problems in the world today have their origin in the unwillingness of humans to share. I wish if we could learn the pleasure of sharing from the girl who, we think, is supposed to learn from us.

And here is my bit to share - a picture of kids I took with my mobile camera.
