" The line was long but
moving briskly and in that line, at the very end,
was a young girl about twelve years of age. She
waited patiently as all those up front of that
long line received a little rice, some canned
food and a little fruit. Slowly but surely, she
was getting closer to the front of the line, closer
to the food that was being distributed.
The young girl did not notice
the growing despair on the faces of those distributing
the food. The food was running out. Instead, the
young girl's attention seemed to be riveted on
three younger children who were standing at a
distance, across the street."
At long last she stepped forward to get her share
of the food. All that was left was a solitary
banana.
Quitely she took the precious gift and smiled
her gratitude.
Then she ran across the street to the three younger
children. She peeled the banana very carefully
and divided it into three equal parts.She placed
one part of the food into the hands of each famished
child.
Then she sat down and with a smile, licked the
inside of the banana peel."
"At that moment", the photographer
concluded, "I swear I saw the face of GOD!"
