The Little Boy child,  Sitting in the Dust on the edge of the Porch that protruded from the Leaning shack of a Building.    Extended forward his arm,  Opened His Hand,   Palm UP and Begged for  "Just a CRUMB of Bread,  Kind Sir? "                   The Pleading Eyes,   Tearing from fear and Frustration,   Peered deeply into the Crowds of People as they passed by.     Waiting,   Just waiting,   for ONE  to come forward and Place a small Morsel of BREAD  or some other Fine Delicacy that would provide the Ultimate  delight  of Lasting Taste!!                " Just a CRUMB of Bread,   Kind Lady ? "         Still,  the crowds as they passed by,   would only Stare in Dismay and continue on their way.     BUT not without great Pangs of Compassion STARTING  to tug on them ! !       The Smirks and Unsavory comments,   such as,  " Don't go near Him,  He might have a Disease",   "Make sure it's not a trap",   "Don't even look at Him",   "Such a disgrace,  that child should be put in an Orphanage",   " I,can't believe that's Permitted". . . .                            The SOBBING child only raised His head a Little Higher and Silently  Muttered to Himself as the Many crowds of people continued to  PASS BY.        Perhaps a Hundred people have Passed by today,  the Child thought,   and not ONE offered even a helpful Smile or provided a  Small  CRUMB of Nourishing delight ! !                    Where were they all going?  The  Child Mused,,,,,ALL I  simply wanted was  "Just a CRUMB of Bread" !            Unable to understand His Dilemma,   the Child folded His arms across his chest,  Hung his head and began to SOB Deeply.,,,        SITTING in the DUST,    Just waiting for a CRUMB  of Bread!                     " IS there not ONE out there who would  but share ONE Portion of their Plenty?"     _ The Sobbing Suddenly stopped!     A Great feeling of Joy,  Peace ,  Serenity and Comfort Enveloped over the Child's BODY !         AS the LORD  took the Child unto HIS ***** and Breathed the Everlasting LIFE  INTO him !       From Now on,   the child would NEVER   again ask_"JUST A CRUMB OF BREAD ,  KIND SIR !
