Little girl Liv has always been a girl with a big heart. She helped the poor and sick and did her best to make their condition better. A sick animal of the roadside also was not out of her kindness. But her mother did not warmly welcome her deeds.

One afternoon, Liv went outside and bought a sick puppy inside the house. When her mom noticed that she was so angry and forbid her to tell her she had sneaked another puppy home. Liv was so shocked and asked her mom how she could leave a sick little puppy on the street.

Though her mom didn't like this kind of work, Liv continued doing those and now she has become a happy young girl. She has always given the last thing she had to those in need.

She often noticed a simple elderly lady by her office. That day she saw her for one more time. The lady never begged. She was trying to earn money by selling her handmade dolls. But people are often cruel to those who are in need.

That day a little girl and her mom were passing the lady when the girl stopped and asked her mom to buy her a doll. But she got angry and told her daughter that they didn't need junk in their house. She clearly said that she was not paying for garbage and they left.

Liv felt sorry for the poor lady and went to her. She took a doll and told her that she would like to buy that one.

The girl thought she had done a good thing, and showed her mother that doll in the tea time. But her mother was stunned seeing the doll and asked her where she had got that. Liv replied that she had bought it from a poor old lady, she needed the money and she decided to help. She added that the doll was cute too.

But her mother was not listening to her and was angry like before. She ordered her to get rid of that right then and forbade her to go near that woman ever. Liv was trying to explain but her mom was not in that mood to change her decision.

She was so shocked and went to bed early. She put the doll beside her and for the first time in her life, she decided to disobey her mother. She thought her mom had never been superstitious and her behavior was strange. She thought deeply and finally found a meaning. It seemed they knew each other...

The next day, Liv took her mother's photograph and decided to figure out what was going on. She went to the old lady and told her that it was going to sound strange, but if she knew that woman in the photograph.

Liv was deeply surprised when the lady started to cry bitterly. She asked Liv where she had got that picture. She replied that she was her mother. She also asked her if they two had met ever. The old lady didn't stop crying and replied that she was her daughter and they had not seen her for 20 years.

"Grandmother?", Liv said.

She also said that her mom told her that she was an orphan. The lady replied that she actually deserved it. She started telling her story...

Liv's mother was 17 when she told her that she was pregnant. Her step-father made an ultimatum either she got rid of the baby or would leave. He was so angry and told her that he was not letting her disgrace the family. Her mother also supported her stepdad and said that it was his house so he would decide what to do. Liv's mother asked her grandmother to leave together but didn't choose her daughter that day. Liv's mother became so angry and told her granny that she didn't exist for her anymore.

Years had gone by and the husband kicked Liv's grandmother out since he had found a younger wife. He told her granny, "Get out of my house, I am tired of you!". So, she ended up on the street being an elderly lady. And when Liv's mother was a little girl, she used to make them of her.

She continued saying that she was so sorry for betraying her daughter.

Liv could not leave her own grandmother to live in poverty. So she brought her to their house. But her mother was mad when she saw her mother. She asked Liv what she was doing there. The old lady was so ashamed but tried to talk. Liv also requested her mother so that she just talk to her because she needed to hear her out.

That night many tears were shed, but yet the women made peace. The grandmother told her mother that she was so sorry. "Me too, mom..."

This was how Liv changed her life as well by doing good deeds. One afternoon the family was sitting together and her grandmother showed an old picture of a baby. She told Liv that it was her mother when she was a newborn baby. Liv's mom was so surprised and said that she could not believe that she kept those old pictures.

"Of course I do, honey...", said Liv's old granny.
