Once the mother missed her, she worried that something might have happened to her child. She stood on the front porch and yelled her daughter’s name several times. Almost immediately the little girl ran from the house next door. The mother hugged her, said she was worried, and finally asked, “Where have you been?” “I went next door to be with Mr. Smith.” “Why were you over there?” “His wife died and he is very sad.” “Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know that,” the mother said. “What did you do?” “I just helped him cry.”",
