Silvia was living with her mother Mrs.James at the out skirts of the town.She & her Mother were living in a small cottage .There were some more cottages there.They all were doing some small works for the town people and earning.When Silvia was just three her father James died after long illness.For last three years Silvia and her mother were collecting fire wood and selling it to the town for fireplace.James was a skilled Plumber and used to earn quite big amount of money repairing taps and doing underground drain connections.Silvia and her mother could earn enough for their bread butter,but in rainy season they could not be able to collect the fire wood,So they had to save money for hard times.
Doing hard work all day long and buy flour and vegetables.Cooking,eating and sleeping was the daily routine of their lives.People living in other cottages were very friendly and supporting with each other and used to help each other in need more or less same in economic status.
One day Mrs.James fell ill and could not recover soon from illness.She was just having some hurbes & leaves juice as it was the traditional medicine,they used to take.All those people used to take these medicine.
One week gone,and Mrs.James still feeling weakness.Very little amount left with them.Silvia,though she was just six,hard living made her strong.She knew every thing about what they were facing .She asked her mother to stay home and rest.She alone went to the jungle and started collecting firewood.When she collected quite a good amount of fire wood,she tied the bundle any how with the string but how could she carry it to the market.She was just thinking about this when suddenly an old lady appeared there,she was holding a basket full of flowers, she asked,”What are you doing my child?”I want to carry the bundle to the market and sell it,but I don’t know How would I take it ?””Why don’t you sell it to me ? I need fire wood,I will take it on my own “ Silvia felt relaxed,she smiled,she nodded her head.The lady gave her some coins,Silvia turned around,The lady called her again,and gave her the basket,take these flowers as my gift.Silvia took it happily,and went back home.She kept the basket in Mummy’s bed room,they have had their dinner and slept.Next morning,Mrs.James woke up early,she was feeling fit-n-fine,suddenly she saw the basket,it was full of gold coins,She called “Silvia ! Silvia !,Silvia woke up.She asked,”From Where had you brought this money ?”Money? Silvia’s eyes opened wide with Surprise,She said,One old lady bought my fire wood and gave this basket as gift,but last evening it was full of flowers.I have never seen that lady before.Mrs James,bowed her head and said,”It is mother Mary’s blessing my child”Silvia also bowed her head.
