A poor widow went to someone's house for a small financial aid. She was known to the family; and that was not her first visit. However, on this occasion her small daughter was with her.

A child of the family slightly older than the visitor's daughter immediately collected his junk of toys and brought them forth to show to the other child and play them with her. She took great fancy in one particular piece of his toys. It was not in a good shape though and should have been thrown away long before. However, the child retrieved his toy from her hand as the widow stood up to leave with her.

The widow's daughter behaved normally as a small child who craves for toys and so did the other child who wants to cling to his. However, the miserly possessiveness of the child in the family was normal only because the parents had failed to do what was normal on their part: - to teach him being charitable. He therefore would not let the toy go when asked for by anyone of his age or told to do so by the parents. He would however abandon it later with little interest in it - in this case, after the orphan had left.

Sadakaat (giving alms and charity) even under difficult circumstances is a sign of nobility of a family. It is also believed to be a good divine shield against impending calamities. It averts calamities by divine grace without one being aware that they" were imminent.

Let us consider this: We some times find a person or indeed a member in the family having a practice of giving alms regularly and also generously, and yet, very surprisingly, he is seen to be unreasonably stingy when it comes to making purchases of personal necessities breeds, even small ones, for himself.

In contrast, there are also persons who are seen squandering their hard earned money on personals non-necessities but are stingy in alms giving. The reason for this is mainly attributed to the programming that the mind had undergone. It is therefore, truly said that "familiarity breeds consent".

The child having been made familiar with the practice of giving charity since childhood, has the mind that does not dislike or hesitate charity-giving as being "unfamiliar".
