Post #4 of Celebrate Goodness

i have friend who found a red USB in a taxi here in Davao. Thinking it was his friend's who got off from the taxi earlier than him, he took it intending to return it to her later. Upon arriving to his next stop, he texted his friend about the found USB. Then she told him that it's not hers. So he planned on going over the USB files and investigating who the owner could be. The files did not exactly tell him who the owner was, but at least he had some clues. His name could be Francis or Kiko. And he probably works in a fast food chain here in Davao.. The problem was, from which branch is he? Searching the internet for phone numbers, he called one branch. IT was a negative. He called another but nobody was answering the phone. He planned on going to a certain branch soon to return the USB, but it took him lots of days before he could do it. He keeps on forgetting. He sometimes used the USB during emergency purposes and eventually the USB got some viruses on it. Oh em! Finally, the day arrived. He went to that fast food chain branch and one employee told him that the person he was looking for, Francis, was from another branch. Then, the manager, he presumed, talked to him and discussed some stuff. He then asked if he could leave the USB to them and hand it over to Francis. The lady manager agreed and she talked with Francis, he presumed, on the mobile phone. She told him it was actually Aaron's USB. Then she asked for his phone number and name, and she gave him pizza fries and introduced herself as Grace. He refused to accept the fries saying that it really did not matter, but of course, she insisted. Hehe. He went on his way and planned to give it to someone who needs food. He saw quiet beggars by the roadside and handed over the fries. He hoped that they would like it. Going home now, he was musing over the happenings of the day when on the side of the road he saw a little lad, his plastic bottles near him, watching over a little kitten. He was amazed with how some people, busy people, are able to marvel and spend time with the little things in life, and realize that these little things are the ones that really matter.

May we all find time to do even just little acts of kindness. Thank you!
God bless you!
