Bees a Goat and "PIF"

My grandaughter Emma is 10 years old. She wanted to buy a book from school but her mother told her she didn't have any money at the time and that if she wanted the book she would have to use her birthday money that she had just received 2 weeks ealier and she would pay her back when she got paid.  Emma claimed that she didn't have any of her birthday money left.  Her mother was upset wanting to know what she had done with the 50 dollars that she received for her Birthday.  Emma explained that she had merely bought bees and a goat.    It seems there had been a presentation at her school about third world countries where children were starving.  She donated all of her birthday money to buy bees, for them to make honey and a goat for milk.  It's times like these that make my hear melt.   I am very proud of my Grandaughter for thinking of others, she stated that she could always earn more money later in life but these children needed food now.

I thought this was a perfect Pay It Forward story.
