Answer:
Actions speak louder than words
It was another cold winter day. The chilly wind is blowing and the snow falling. A poor, homeless, hungry and thirsty man goes to a rich man. He tells the rich man that he is hungry and has not eaten for three days. The rich man came out to see who is at his door. Seeing the poor man in tattered clothes, he gets angry. He yells angrily about beggars constantly harassing him. He scolds the poor hungry for disturbing him. He calls the hungry man a lazy man who is unwilling to work and earn a livelihood. He tells the hungry and thirsty man to go away somewhere else and find something to eat. He goes inside, slamming the door shut.
The poor man slowly walks away. Outside in the cold he is thinking about what has happened in his life. He tells himself, "If not for this terminal cancer, I could find a job. I don't like to beg because it is humiliating. It's my unlucky fate that my wife and son were killed in a road accident six months ago. Even I have this cancer, my life was happy and good when they were alive. They cared for me day and night. I misses them so much."
The rich man didn't help the hungry man in a y manner. He didn't give him anything to eat. He just told him to go and find food to eat which is pointless. The expression "Actions speak louder than words" teaches us that it is only by our actual good works that can change the life of people in a positive way and make our communities, our nation and the world a better place to live in.
