Every child deserves to be happy

Dave was an old man and his profession was driving. He had his own cab and drove it to earn for his wife and him. They had no child and were passing their old age time alone.

One night it was the last trip for Dave. A family of mother, father and a little daughter got into his taxi. But little did he knew that it would turn his life upside down.

He asked the family where to go. The father replied that it was a short ride to a nearby block. Dave was about to start driving and that time the little girl asked her parents that they maybe could go home as she was sleepy. She just requested but her mom got angry and said that no one had asked her.

After this Dave start driving and the girl became so upset. It was obvious to Dave that the child wanted to go to bed. But her parents intended to stay up for quite some time. However, Dave didn't pay much attention in this and took them to their destination.

They got off the taxi and then paid him. After this Dave hurried back home. After he had passed two blocks, he was dumbstruck. The family left the girl in the car and he just noticed it. He could not but said what kind of parents those people were. Then he told the girl not to be afraid as he was not going to hurt her. He promised her that he would take her to her parents.

The he drove back to the block and got off the car at the right destination. But her reaction stunned him. She cried and said that she didn't want to go to them. She asked the poor taxi driver if she could sit there a little longer. He told the girl to sit on the taxi and he went to search for her parents.

When he knocked on the door, he saw why the girl was so upset. There was a lot of men and women in the house. It was looking like it was a bar or a night club. He somehow found out the girl's parents and told them about the girl. But they didn't care and told him to get lost.

He came back to the girl and asked her what they were going to do. He then asked her if she had any other family. The girl already stopped crying and said that she didn't have anyone else. Dave then thought for a while and suggested the girl to stay with them. He added that his wife made delicious cupcakes. The girl was so excited and said yes.

Then she took the girl to his home. His wife was waiting for him to come. And when she saw the girl with her husband, she asked everything. The driver also explained everything. He introduced the girl with her. He said that the girl's name was Emily and she would spend the night there. His wife welcomed the girl in and said her to make herself at home.

Dave told his wife about what had happened. And she supported the idea to let the girl spend the night. The girl was also happy. Then his wife made dinner and also the delicious cupcakes. She asked her to have the meal and said that she was going to make some tea too.

The girl seemed to be incredibly excited when she was at their place. The old couple gossiped with her till late night and Emily enjoyed that so much. She said that it was one of the best experience of her life. She ate everything and said that those were so delicious and added that she had never eaten anything like that.

When Emily went to sleep, Dave and his wife sat together to have a discussion on what to do next. His wife said that they should notify the police the next day. She exclaimed that her heart was breaking for her. She also said that life would be hard for her in a foster home. Dave also agreed with her.

So, the next morning they went to the police and explained the situation to them. The officer said that they would do a check and if they were right, the parental rights would be revoked.

And after the checking the girl's parents' parental right was revoked. They went to the authority and Dave's wife asked Emily if she would like to stay with them permanently. She asked if it would be for good. Dave replied that it would be for good. Emily became over the moon and said the of course she would.

And then the authority told the old couple that they could become the girl's guardians. They also said that the process would take several days. But they let them to take Emily to their home.

Dave and his wife let Emily stay with them because they felt obligated to help her. They thought they didn't deserve the kind of life she had before. Dave always remembered of that night when Emily's parents left her. So, the old couple tried to present good times to her.

The old lady sat with her and read out the books to her. In his free times, Dave played with the girls. And with Emily's laughter the house feels full for the first time. And their hearts were full.

If you can save just one poor child in the world- go ahead and do it. Every child deserves to be happy. Children belong where they are loved.
