A little boy and the balloon

Once upon a time, there's a little poor boy with dark skin color who live in a city. His family broken since he was born because his dad has an affair outside. After his dad left him and his mom, he's been with mom and lead a tough life. The boy, who lived...

He has no friend and no one willing play with him. Every children tease at him becasue he has no dad and poor and he's dark skin color while other kids are in fair skin. He feels inferior and he's a low-self esteem boy. I can understand how he feel.

One day, he say beside and looking at other kids playing with balloon. In his heart, how he wish to have a balloon to play but he has no money to buy one. What he can do is sitting aside and look at other kids playing. There's an old man who making and selling balloon. The boy tried go to old man and talk to him. The boy dare not look at old manbut head down and ask embarrassly, "Uncle, I don;t have money but can I have a balloon? I'm willing working for you to pay you back" The old man thinking of the boy and smile at the boy, "my boy, you can have a balloon from me for free, here you choose which color you like". The boy smile at uncle. The boy look at all balloons to choose. Out of the old man expectation, the boy chosed a black balloon. The old man feel curious why he chosed a black color. After the old man think of it, he then found out that he's inferior for his dark skin color and his family background.

The old man touch the boy's head and smiled at him and said, "boy, look at all balloons, they all have hidrogen inside. Regardless of color, as long as the hidrogen is inside the balloon, the balloon can fly in the sky. I want you to know something, don't be upset or inferior for your appearance/outlook or your family background, as long as you did not do any evil/sin and never make anyone disappoint, you can still do the same thing as like others. Believe in yourself and trust your talent. The world won't stop because you unhappy, the time won't go back or give you extra time if you miss something, we have to learn from past and do better in future.Also, the god won't despise you even you're a dark skin boy, everyone are equivalent, because as long as you're human, our heartbeat are at the same pace.If you can get what I mean, you'll make big deal in future" The boy smile at the old man and bear in mind.

He never give up even he once fail.Today he's a chairman in a company of software development in Asia and won alot of awards.
