인권[Human Rights]--Food and Shelter for All<27>
It is Benny's tenth birthday. To celebrate, his parents take him out to eat at a fancy restaurant.
The food is delicious, but there is a lot of it, so Benny has leftovers to take home. He is excited about this. The server gives him a paper bag full of his extra food.
Benny and his parents walk down a busy street toward their parked car. Benny sees an older man on the sidewalk. He sits with his back against a building. He looks very tired and hungry. He holds a sign that says, "Will work for food."
Benny walks over to the man and hands him his bag of food. His parents pull him back, but it is too late. Benny gives his food away.
When they get in the car, Benny's father asks him why he gave his food away.
Benny answers, "In school, we learn about food and shelter for all."
"What?" Benny's mother asks.
Benny says, "We learn that everyone has the right to a good life. Everyone has the right to food and shelter. People who are old or unable to care for themselves have the right to be cared for. So I gave him my food."
His parents are quiet for a minute. Then his father says, "Wow, Benny. That is very kind of you."
