Animal

In a small Tamil Nadu village, old Kannadasan sat beneath the banyan tree, sharing dried fish with stray dogs. His grandson watched, amazed. When poverty struck, these animals had waited beside him, asking nothing. He'd given everything. One day, the boy posted their photo online. Comments poured in, calling it extraordinary. Strangers sent money, enough for medicine and food. But Kannadasan smiled differently at the village gathering, surrounded by neighbors who understood what the world finally saw: compassion costs nothing, yet feeds everything. His kindness had always been wealth itself, woven through generations, belonging to them all.
