The Book Thief: A Short Story

There once was a young boy, who loved to make people happy. One day, he was strolling down the street, when he heard cries of despair. “What am I going to do! The thief took all of my special possessions”, wailed a woman. The young boy didn’t know if he should help the poor woman. He certainly didn’t want to face a thief. He decided to carry on his small stroll and he ignored the poor woman who was sobbing quite loudly.
When he was a few houses away, he suddenly stopped. If he had helped the unfortunate woman, she would have been happy by now. The boy stopped walking and ran back to the woman.
