How Wang Jok quenced my craving!


The little things we do for another means the world to them...
In the wake of "scarcity" of mangoes in my region 
The first I have witnessed since I heard the first cries of birds
A wave of craving for this fruit over powered me
Day in day out 
The mango trees on my compound produce sickly looking mangoes 
Mangoes that keep falling to their death 
Leaving me in despair 

Yes! I just want to eat just 1 fruit!
To quench my dire craving 
I am pushed to ask a few people 
"Do you have mangoes in your home"
"If you come across mangoes,  please alert me"
Piny tik!
Then my last plea was heard by my blood!
He told me, in a week's time mangoes should be ready!

This morning the surprise call came through!
The mangoes are ready, please send for them!
Huh! Excitement ran through my entire being....
Mangoes, mangoes, mangoes!
Thank you Wang Jok
You have quenched my craving and I will remember this eternally! 
The little things we do for others! 
GRACIAS!!!!
