Prompt 7: The Horse
Featuring Pip
Good deeds come in all shapes and sizes. It doesn’t take much to cheer someone up, even the smallest of things can show deep gratitude. It doesn’t matter how much a gift cost, or how much effort the deed was, the sincerity of the deed is what truly matters on the inside. That’s why you should treasure every act of kindness that comes your way, cause no matter how big or small it was, it made a positive significance in some form of way.
Pip sprinted down the sidewalk. He was gonna be late for school. He woke up late after staying up last night trying to finish his homework, and now he was late. “I’m so dead” he thought as he whizzed past everything. He saw the entrance of the school just up ahead. He could make it! Just one last spring across the road. He made it to the edge of the road, The light was flashing the seconds as people piled on the road, eager to cross. He looked up at the sign, he had six seconds to cross. Yesss, he would make it.

He made a dash back and grabbed the object and ran back to where he started. “Here you dropped this” he panted, tired from running back. He looked up and saw the cars were starting to move again, he would have to wait another cycle before he could cross. “Thank you so much sir, I won’t forget this.” She smiled graciously, hugging the small box tightly. “Yeah no problem”, Pip smiled. At least someone was happy, now he had to worry about getting to school.
Later that day...
He walked back up the neighborhood block to his house, luckily the teacher was late so no one noticed, that was lucky. He saw his mom at the front lawn waving st him as he drew closer to the house. Next to her was an elder lady who looked familiar... thats when it hit him, she was the lady from the street. “Hey!” He replied before heading up. “Pip, this is your grandmother, she has something for you!” And in Pip’s grandmother’s hand, was the small box she dropped on the streets...
