The Homeless Child

Why?

Holly woke up at 4 a.m. to take care of Sarah's screaming so that she didn't wake up Jennifer.

"Hi honey why are you screaming?" Holy asked Sarah as she walked into her room. She picked up Sarah and started to cradle her. Holy then took her over to the changing table and started to change Sarah's wet diaper. After she changed her diaper, she went to make her a bottle. She grabbed the bottle and picked up Sarah.

About an hour later, Sarah was done eating and was falling asleep again. Holly looked at the clock, 5:30 it blinked. Since she couldn't go back to sleep, she decided to make Jennifer some breakfast.

I woke up to the smell of bacon, and my mouth started to water. I decided to go see what was going on. As I walked into the kitchen I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Holly had made bacon, eggs, waffles, orange juice, and coffee.

"Holly what is this?" I asked. She jumped when she heard me. I guess she didn't hear me walk in.

"Oh! Good morning Jennifer. I didn't hear you get up. Sarah woke me up, so since I was awake I decided to make you some breakfast. It was the least I could do to repay you."

"That's so sweet of you Holly," I said as I grabbed a plate. "Thank you!" She smiled. We sat and ate for a bit. "Holly?"

"Yes?"

"How did you become homeless?" I asked.

She looked away and sadness quickly washed over her face. She looked at me and told me the story.

"Oh Holly. I'm so sorry!" I got up and hugged her tightly. She started crying in the middle of telling me her story.

"Jennifer?"

"Yes Holly?"

"Why?"

"Why what," I asked.

"Why did you help me?"
