The boy who reads: A story of hope
“One would think that the last place to find a starved and unkempt street urchin is in a book store.”
Heartwarming story…
Thank you, David.
I wish I could bring this young lad into my school, where kids in my class moan about having to read. What an inspiration!!! Thanks for sharing.
Hi teach, There is so much joy in reading. I suppose this child has the gift of learning. You are welcome.
Giving my good wishes to this little hero. He is truly an inspiration for most of us. May all his dreams comes true.
With your good wishes, I am pretty sure he feels it and will be a good example for others. Thank you, Supriya.

With the help of other people who hang on to hope. I am the seeker and the sharer.
Wonderful and heartwarming. Thanks for sharing, P. 🙂

The power of a book, a photo, cyber friends sharing, and a life is forever changed, perhaps many lives who read this story.
Thank you for sharing the power….

Indeed.
I hope the ending stays happy – that boy deserves a chance!
We can only hope, Ms. g. There are still some good Samaritans around.
How very compelling and moving! Thank you both for posting~
Thank you, Cindy.
Such a wonderful story, filled with hope. Let us all wish him the very best, and wish him much success. Take care, Bill
Your wishes is now circling in the cyber space all the way to him. Thank you, Bill.
Heart wrenching story, and sadly one of so very many! Where is that lopsided money that could do so much good? JJ
It’s suppose to give us hope, JJ.
Of course, and it does, but wouldn’t it be something if those who can afford to help financially spread that hope around did so in a noticeable way…

Most philanthropist do not want to be noticed and remains anonymous.
I’m well aware of that. I refer to the many more who could and do not.
Oh dear, I wonder who those are?
I’m sorry if my mind wandered when reading your article, and seeing the boy’s picture reading. I apologize, and will avoid expressing my thoughts and feelings on your future stories. It was not my intention to offend, nor upset, as I seem to have done. Again I apologize!
Mr. JJ. Not to worry. No offence taken at all nor was I upset. I was more concerned of you thinking that the post was disturbing. All is good. Take care. Perpetua.
What a fantastic and beautiful story, P! Thank you for sharing it with us! Wow … Heartwarming! 🙂
When I saw that in FB, I just have to share his story. Thank you.
So heartwarming …. And I read way too much about the kids today not enjoying books … I like that story! 🙂
We so often hear of the cycle of poverty and how hopeless it is. Where there is the human spirit, there is hope. This is proof. We need to put this in front of every politician and public policy maker who has given up on the poor–classified then as lost causes.
