A Home for Tomorrow
One day, a boy named Chris was playing outside of his house. He saw an old man building a house at the end of the lane.
He wanted to know more about it, so Chris ran towards the old man and said, "Excuse me sir, why are you building a house all by yourself and who are you building this house for?"
The old man replied, "Hello little friend. I am building this house for me and others. After I die, I want other people who don't have money to buy a house or who don't have a house can live in this house."
The boy felt happy so he said, "I want to help you in building this house." The old man said, Sure buddy, let's build this house together for a better tomorrow."
After helping the old man, he came back home and saw his grandpa, he ran and hugged him. Chris told him everything about helping the old man in building the house. Grandpa smiled and said, "Oh great, you met my friend Mr. Jason! He is a kind, helpful man." Then grandpa also decided to help them build the house.
Sadly after a few months, Mr. Jason passed away. The whole neighborhood was sad and did not know if they should continue building the house or not. Chris said, "Let's keep building the house to make Mr. Johnson's dream come true." Then grandpa reminded everyone what Martin Luther King Jr. said, "We must learn to live together..." that means we should learn to work together and respect each other. Then everyone completed the house and called, "THE HOUSE FOR TOMORROW." And then it became a childrens home.
MORAL - We should work together and support each other to make the future better.
