Anna was a very intelligent and beautiful girl. She was 25 years old. She graduated with very good marks. As people with good marks become doctors and engineers, while Anna was very different. She had a dream that she should open a shop which she'll run on her own. When she conveyed her thoughts to her parents they agreed Anna because Anna's parents were very supportive. They wanted that whatever Anna wants to do she'll do that. Soon, the construction of the shop started and after some months Anna's shop was ready. Anna decided that it will be a bakery shop and she'll name it Anna Bakery. And she'll sell cakes and cookies and some more dairy items and bread.


It was inauguration day today. Anna's parents asked Anna to inaugurate the shop but Anna refused. She said to her parents, " Today whatever I'm is because of you both so I want you both to inaugurate our shop. " Anna's parents proudly inaugurated the shop. Now as the inauguration completed, Anna organised the whole shop. And finally the day came to open the shop for the first time. First day went very good. Many customers came in Anna's shop. Everyone loved her cakes and cookies. Now 1 month was completed after shop's opening and Anna's shop was still running very nicely. Anna was also very happy with her earning. Years went on and by time Anna lost her parents because of a car accident. Anna was completely broken. But as people say that time fills all the wounds, time filled Anna's wounds also and gave her strength. She became strong and continued to run her shop. But after some years, Anna had competition in her area. Many shops were opened in Anna's shop's area, so Anna's earning was decreasing day by day. People used to go to new shops not the old ones. Now Anna became very poor, noone used to come in her shop but she didn't give up. She knew that one day her shop will become like it was earlier where everyone from kids to old people everyone came to eat yummy cakes. 


One day, a poor girl came to Anna's shop and asked for a packet of bread. Anna gave the packet to the girl and said, " Take this cutie." The girl replied, " But.... I don't have money. My family is very poor and my small sister is in the mouth of death because of hunger. Please give me this packet of bread. I'll surely give you the money one day. " Anna was very kind. She gave the packet of bread to the little girl. The little girl went to her home and she gave the bread to her mom and asked her to feed it to her small sister. But the girl's mother doubtfully asked, " From where you got this??" The girl answered, " I wandered here and there but noone gave me something but then I went to a shop named Anna Bakery and a girl gave me this packet for free, " After hearing this the girl's mother gave the bread to her small daughter and the little girl was now safe from death. The mother said, " The girl Anna was very kind. Today your small sister is alive because of Anna. Daisy(the poor girl) one day I hope you will become successful in your life and yes!! Don't forget to thank Anna who gave your little sister Laura a new life. "


From that day, Daisy made a decision that one day she'll pay the bread's money to Anna. Daisy now told everyone that Anna saved her little sister by giving a packet of bread free to her. When people got to know about Anna's kindness they started visiting her shop and Anna's shop became as it was earlier, everyday full of customers. Anna was very happy. Like this years went happily and after 35 years, a young girl came to Anna's shop and said, " Do you remember me? I came to your shop for a packet of bread as my small sister was dying because of hunger. And you helped me by giving me the packet for free. " Anna said," Ummm!! Yes I remember you cutie.Daisy said, " Yes I'm your cutie. Because of that packet of bread my sister ran out of hunger and my family that is me and my mother also ate some slices of bread. But still 1 slice of bread was left and I don't know how I got an idea which was I sold that 1 slice of bread and my business started and today I have my own bread company and it all is because of you. Thank you for giving my family a new life. I came here for returning you the money of that packet of bread. " Anna was in tears. She hugged Daisy and said," My cutie I'll tell you something, working hard and getting the fruit of your hard work is the biggest thing you can ever achieve and you have achieved it. I'm proud of you dear." 


At the age of 83, Anna died and when her cutie got to know about it she left all her work and reached at Anna's funeral. She cried and cried with gratefulness for Anna in her eyes. She said to Anna, " Why you went? Tell me! Don't tell... You went leaving me alone but I'll never ever forget you (cries.....)

Daisy kept a packet of bread next to Anna's dead body and for Anna's happiness she started handling Anna's bakery because she knew that the bakery was everything for Anna. For Daisy handling Anna's bakery was her biggest achievement in her life.


Always help anyone in need like Anna, who knows the next day you will find him or her standing near you with gratefulness and ready to help you more than you helped him or her yesterday.
