In a Guatemalan forest two friends were hiking when they came across a poor village with children who came running towards them smiling even though they looked very poor. The friends had some oranges with them and as they peeled them they distributed them to the children, with each having a sliver or two. When they only had half an orange left, they noticed a bashful girl all by herself and called her over and gave her two slivers of the orange. She quickly turned around and gave one each to her little brother and sister. Sadly there was nothing left for her. A year later, these same two friends were camping in the same area, and once again met the family, which now had one member missing as the father had died. The two friends this time had some buns which they gave to the mother to share with her children. As they were leaving they noticed that girl hiding behind a rubble wall, and they called her over. They had one bun left and they gave it to her. She thanked them, and as she did the previous year, she broke it in half and walked towards her two younger siblings and gave them each half of the bun.
