I was half dozing off in a jammed pack train when a little boy came along with his elder sister on board the train.
The man sitting next to me, promptly and generously gave up his seat to the boy. I woke up from my noonday nap at the look of the little boy who is simply adorable. He is cheery, with curly black hair and a simply awesome grin.
He slided to the seat next to me comfortably and moments later look up at the man at the hint of his sister and yelled a big "Thank you". The man can't help but chuckled at the outburst and so do I.
Then the little boy turned to me and smile sweetly, "ExCUse me, where will you be alighting?", he asked and gave me a big toothpaste smile. The words fell on me like February sun on ice. Boy, I melted.
Such a friendly little boy. I feel like giving him a cuddle and his curly hair a crunch because he deserve all the praise and attention. "Well, I am alighting at City Hall", I whispered. Man, I feel on top of the world from a boy I will adore.
"Because I hope my sister can have a seat too" . Period. Wholesome honesty with big smiley.
I was caught dumbstruck.
I have kind of misunderstood his question initially, thinking he was a curious cat. Yet amused by his eager sincerity for his sister to have a seat. Direct, matter-of-fact, with so much sweetness and cuteness. He is bursting with loving kindness.
Meanwhile. the sister was wagging her finger at him.
Before I could react to give up my seat, he crawled out of his seat, went over and pulled her sister towards his seat and like a little gentleman, beaconed her to sit down while he climbed upon her laps. Just next to me, I can hear their conversation as he sped off making up and narrating a story to his sister, making it sound rhythmatic with tonely voice so that it is interesting.
"So Sister, hOw's my STORy? " The same cute gerbil grin, after his storytelling ended. Looking so proud after he made up a hippopotamus story who died on a mission to outer space. He then begin negotiating for one story in return from his sister. "Sure I can, but you got to .." the sister responded, trying to take the chance to teach him something else compassionately. Very quietly he sat, barely five or six years his age, all attentive, posture upright, his eyes are fixed on her. Nodding his little head as if to take in every word from his sister, he looks on respectfully.
Boy, what love between a brother and sister! A perfect harmony.
Colossians 3:12-14 12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
