Author
and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he
was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find
the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child
whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had
recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little
boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his
lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked him what
he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing,
I just helped him cry."
