The fact that the kid (let's name him: Sarakh) with a pair of shining shoe seems to be significantly more fortunate than the kid (let's name him: Rozik) not having a proper pair of sleepers even.
Both are in their own world of need, want and demand. Rozik can only wonder a pair of those fine shoes that Sarakh is wearing. If he could ever have one, he would never take them off!!
But Sarakh, on the other hand, is presented by the director in a manner to imply that he is also equally in love with his pair of new shoes! A kid's attraction, love, and bond, with a new thing, are still there.
When one shoe is left behind in the hustle, Rozik could Empathize with Sarakh! He tries his best to get it back to him. Sarakh standing helplessly, moving away every second from something his little heart loves dearly, could actually forgive the situation and turn his grief into a happy one by making someone else happy. The ending smile exchanged a kind of conversation like this; "take care of it!" - "Yes! I will!! Thank You!".

What more can be a life lesson! Really. Cheers!

These acts of kindness should be natural - the video was a kind reminder for those that have forgot. Pick the right path and you will find yourself somewhere beautiful.

We have so much in the west. Our attitudes and view of life is totally clouded by the sheer abundance that surrounds us. We HAVE to find a way to re balance our lives. For our owns sake , our children and their children.We as nation and as humans owe it to OUR planet, and fellow humans.

Trying to help another, the instant friendship of these young boys show what a little caring can do to make this world a better place. It's something we all can do to help others. You don't have to be the "haves and have nots".

"Love is the thing that if you give it away, you give it away, you give it away: Love is the thing that if you give it away, you end up having more"

Shows how love can transpire poverty and class. It is the reason we are here and it can make all things better!
