Jonny hated eating vegetables! He grumbled, “Why do you make me eat them?” He would throw them in the dustbin, when his mother was not looking. One day, his mother said, “Jonny, tomorrow we will go to a special place. You will meet new friends.” Jonny was excited. They left early in the morning. He slept off in the car. “Jonny! Wake up. We’re here,” his mother said, stopping the car. Excited, Jonny got off but stopped short when he saw children in torn clothes with dirty faces! They were in a small village away from the town. Bringing out a big bag, his mother said, “Jonny, please distribute these food packets to the children.” Jonny was ashamed when he saw how gratefully and eagerly the children took the food and vegetable packets. Afterwards, they all played together. “I will never throw my food now!” he promised himself. Jonny and his mother visited every week to give food to Jonny’s new friends.
