(miniflash story)

Little Elsa always wanted pointe shoes. She always watched ballet on TV with her grandparents. Elsa said she would become a ballerina. But, unfortunately, her family couldn’t afford lessons for the girl.

One day she was walking outside and saw an old man fall. Elsa ran up to him, helping him to get up. The grampy looked at Elsa with a smile and then asked a question.

“What do you desire most of all?”

“I wish to dance, Graybeard,” she answered.

Again, the senior man smiled and then left. The next day in the mailbox, the girl’s father got a letter inviting her to study at the ballet school…There was a note: “Kindness is always rewarded.”
