Token Of Christmas Cheer
A man shuffled down a city block, ringing doorbells. His spirit motivated by optimism.
With mounting rejections, hopelessness soon took over. He had an inkling of what they were thinking: another solicitor, begging on behalf of a charity. He would prove otherwise if given a chance.
Last house. He paused. Should he ring? A smiling child waved through the picture window. The front door opened. A woman appeared.
“Sorry, I have little cash,” she said, noting his disheveled appearance.
He left with a bag of festive cookies gifted by her; a token of appreciation for his shoveling of her walkways.
