    The fact that the kid (let's name him: Sarakh) with a pair of shining shoe seems to be significantly more fortunate than the kid (let's name him: Rozik) not having a proper pair of sleepers even. Both are in their own world of need, want and demand. Rozik can only wonder a pair of those fine shoes that Sarakh is wearing. If he could ever have one, he would never take them off!! But Sarakh, on the other hand, is presented by the director in a manner to imply that he is also equally in love with his pair of new shoes! A kid's attraction, love, and bond, with a new thing, are still there. When one shoe is left behind in the hustle, Rozik could Empathize with Sarakh! He tries his best to get it back to him. Sarakh standing helplessly, moving away every second from something his little heart loves dearly, could actually forgive the situation and turn his grief into a happy one by making someone else happy. The ending smile exchanged a kind of conversation like this; "take care of it!" - "Yes! I will!! Thank You!". What more can be a life lesson! Really. Cheers!

    These acts of kindness should be natural - the video was a kind reminder for those that have forgot. Pick the right path and you will find yourself somewhere beautiful.

    We have so much in the west. Our attitudes and view of life is totally clouded by the sheer abundance that surrounds us. We HAVE to find a way to re balance our lives. For our owns sake , our children and their children.We as nation and as humans owe it to OUR planet, and fellow humans.

    Trying to help another, the instant friendship of these young boys show what a little caring can do to make this world a better place. It's something we all can do to help others. You don't have to be the "haves and have nots".

    Thank you for this beautiful short film! It tells about so important things in life, in just a few minutes. Children nows the important stuff - if we just listen more to them and don't always think we have so much to teach them.

    Good example about karma.

    That the child with less was willing to make an effort to return the shoe to rightful owner. Because he made that effort, the rightful owner gave him both shoes. I do support what Majoj Chugani said. It makes sense because we can learn so much from children if we do not interfere with their spiritual standing.

    That a pure heart is unselfish and will react to the needs of others first.

    This is a really powerful video that reaffirms what we already know, children come to this world more evolved and instead of learning from them, reconnecting to the child within we mess things up by trying to make them like us :(. Wonder if the world would be a nicer place if we let children be children - Hey teacher, leave us kids alone.
