LUCKY - FIVE SENTENCE FICTION #1


"But this is not the latest model" I cried when my dad bought me a new smartphone for I wanted the best.

 How much had I wanted to be the first one to buy the latest smartphone that had just arrived in the market and flaunt it in front of my friends.

 I walked out dejected wanting to be alone for sometime, to nurse my wounded heart.

 That's when I saw two children, one of them handicapped, both crying out of hunger and begging for alms.

 A lump formed in my throat when I realized how lucky I was to have been blessed with comforts of life and decided to overlook just the material comforts to be happy in life.

 Until the next post,
Keep Smiling :)

    So true. I find myself thinking my own children are spoiled and don't realize the luck they really have.
