I had the most extraordinary experience with a Hindu family who had eight children. A gentleman came to our house and said: Mother Teresa, there is a family with eight children, they had not eaten for so long -- do something. So I took some rice and I went there immediately. And I saw the children -- their eyes shinning with hunger -- I don't know if you have ever seen hunger.
But I have seen it very often. And she took the rice, she divided the rice, and she went out. When she came back I asked her -- where did you go, what did you do? And she gave me a very simple answer: They are hungry also. What struck me most was that she knew -- and who are they, a Muslim family -- and she knew.
Some time ago in Calcutta we had great difficulty in getting sugar, and I don't know how the word got around to the children, and a little boy of four years old, Hindu boy, went home and told his parents: I will not eat sugar for three days, I will give my sugar to Mother Teresa for her children. After three days his father and mother brought him to our home.
