A family of five were enjoying their day at the beach. The children were bathing
in the ocean and making castles in the sand when in the distance a little old lady
appeared. Her grey hair was blowing in the wind and her clothes were dirty and
ragged. She was muttering something to herself as she picked up things from the
beach and put them into a bag.
The parents called the children to their side and told them to stay away from the
old lady. As she passed by, bending down every now and then to pick things up she
smiled at the family. But her greeting wasn’t returned.
Many weeks later they learnt that the little old lady had made it her lifelong
crusade to pick up bits of glass from the beach so children wouldn’t cut their
feet.
