Where is Love? How can we find Love?

Once a little boy wants to meet Love. He knows it is a long trip to where Love lives, so he gets his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and starts off. When he passes three streets, he sees an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looks very hungry. The boy gives her a pizza. She takes it and smiles at him. The smile is so beautiful that he wants to see it again, so he gives her a Coke. She smiles once again. The boy is very happy.

They sit there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they say nothing. When it grows dark, the boy wants to leave. But before he goes more than a few steps, he turns around, runs back to the old woman and gives her a hug(拥抱). The woman gives him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opens the door of his house, his mother is surprised by the look of joy(快乐)on his face and asks what makes him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old woman’s son is also surprised at his mother’s pleasure(快乐) and asks why.

“I had a pizza in the park with Love,” she says, “and he is much younger than I expected.”

If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.
