Henry was the richest boy in his town. His father was the mayor of the town. Most of the people in his town were farmers and bakers, and were very poor.

Henry was a sad, selfish kid,an only child and very lonely, because he was always thinking about eating, and became so fat that his class mates rejected him. His parents used to give him some money every day to buy a snack. He did not lack anything, but he missed the company of a friend, and the appreciation of the other boys and girls who lived in the town. His loneliness made him quite sad. Henry enjoyed eating cake, fried chips and popcorn after school, unaware of the other boys’ and girls’ economic problems. They did not have money to buy sweets and candies because they were poor.

Then, one day, their teacher explained that children in Africa were hungry and had no food.

That afternoon, after school, as Henry searched inside his pockets for the coins his mum had given him that morning to buy a cupcake and a bar of chocolate, he remembered what his teacher had said about Africa.

He sat on a bench situated in the town’s main square facing the candy shop, and for the first time, he forgot that he was hungry.

“What´s wrong with me? Why am I not buying popcorn or one of those giant, delicious lollipops?” – He was about to enter the shop when a good fairy appeared and reminded Henry that there were many poor people, not only in Africa, but also in his own town, that did not have enough food. There were not enough fruits or vegetables in the town, because the farmers did not have enough money to buy seeds or fertilizers.

The fairy asked him:-“Henry, do you know how many seeds you could buy with the money your parents give you?”

Henry began to think….

what do you think happened next? what happened in the end?
why do you think that happened?
what if it did not happen the way you think? What else could have happened?
