It's a dull summer morning for Johnny who lost both of his parents in a car crash some couple of years ago. The whole world deemed to have collapsed on him because there were many things he's now missing due to the sudden death of his parents. Things like, school, decent home to live, good food, health care, clothing and parental love. He lives with his paternal uncle in a different City from where he was born and lived with his late parents. His sudden relocation to a new settlement did not only affect Johnny psychologically, but nearly took his childhood away from him as a result of the way the uncle's wife maltreated him. She hardly gives Johnny food even when she knew he needs it. Johnny practically does all the house chores while her kids relaxes and watch Johnny on daily basis. When Johnny made an attempt to tell the uncle about his travails, the uncle punishes him the more. His uncle is a kind of man that worships his wife. He believes and does virtually everything she instruct him to do. When Johnny saw he couldn't cope with the ill treatment he was constantly subjected to, he decided to runaway from the uncle's house to a far away town atleast to where he could be without his oppressors. The first few days of his exile was a living hell, no small ratio of food as he was used to be fed in his uncle's house, but he believes he would be fine in a matter of some days. Young Johnny became very hungry and looking pale and tattered. All the houses he visited begging for food were not welcoming. Johnny was exhausted and gasping for breath. He used his last ounce of strength to strode to Mrs. Brown's semi detached flat. Mrs. Brown is a good hearted woman who lives with her aged husband and two little kids, a boy and a girl. She works as a store keeper in one company. She's nice and lively. Immediately Johnny tapped at her door bell unlike other apartments owners, she hurriedly came to the door to meet the collapsing ill looking boy. She asked Johnny his name and why he's at her house, he muttered his name to her and was mentioning FOOD when he eventually collapsed. Mrs. Brown called the husband Mr. Brown to come and he helped to pick the motionless body of the boy inside. After performing some first aid treatment on him he got revived. After he revived Mrs. Brown fed him with a Big Chicken Meal and a jug of Milk. He passed the night there and the following morning Brown's family packaged some food for Johnny and he tearfully Left. F Forward..... After about 15yts Mrs. Brown took ill and was diagnosed of kidney disease and urgently needed to be donated a kidney, the wose of all she was O- blood group, a very rare blood group. Time was elapsing and no donor could turn up to save her life. One of her children put up the last advertisement looking for a donor of 0- at the last minutes when hope was almost dashed, one man appeared and his group marched Mrs. Brown's, without delayed the two were wheeled to the theater and they came out successful. Mrs. Brown was happy and surprised how from nowhere her donor came, she felt she was highly indebted to such a rare Noble gesture. She was crying and thanking the Donor and saying, if not for you, i would have long been forgotten. And he also replied her saying, if not for you, i would have been Long forgotten. He reminded Mrs. Brown he was the little boy she helped sometimes ago and When he was living her house that day he prayed to God to give him what he will reciprocate the good gesture Mrs. Brown showed him. And when he saw the advertisement, he knew it was Mrs. Brown and was elated now opportunity presented itself for him to pay back and he said, one good turn deserves another.
