Sharing...

“Nyummy, nyum!” Huggy Bunny said.
“Yes, it’s very delicious, Honey,” Mommy responded. Both were eating slices of mango from the same plate, sharing.
Huggy Bunny continued eating and speeded up.
“Hey, you are going to eat this all, leaving Mommy with nothing?” asked Mommy.
Huggy Bunny didn’t reply, she just kept putting the slices into her mouth.
“Ok, then we are going to compete!” Mommy made an announcement, opened her mouth widely and put more slices into mouth.
Huggy Bunny said nothing and this mother-daughter were in a very serious mangoes-eating competition… until one little slice left in the plate.
Mommy looked at the mango then turned to Huggy Bunny, “Ok, dear, you can have it.”
Again Huggy Bunny said nothing, slowly but sure moved her little fork to the tiny slice, divided it into 2 tinier pieces, ate one, and gave the other one to Mommy.
“Darling, it’s such a small piece, you just eat it. You don’t need to share with Mommy, it’s ok.”
Huggy Bunny smiled. A sincere glow just sparked from her eyes. “I love you, Mommy.”
Mommy looked at this wonderful little lady, smiled, and ate the petite slice and guess what, that was the sweetest mango slice she ever had!

What Huggy Bunny did is a little simple act that represents a big heart, not the size that matters but the sincere heart to share, the ego being put aside. Sharing is all about heart, about sincerity, far from greediness, the simple sharing comes from heart.

Now sharing even the tiniest piece has become a ritual for Huggy Bunny & Mommy. What a child doesn't receive, she can seldom later give (P.D. James, Time to Be in Earnest)
