This is story I read while browsing the forums of KerygmaFamily.com: It's creative and new and has a lot of impact.
A yaya (nursemaid) and her ward (a little boy) walk towards an ice cream stall (the street-towed type). The yaya bought two for both of them. The child was so excited that, when he licked on the ice cream, the cold stuff fell to the ground. The child was about to cry for the lost when the quick-thinking, quick-responding yaya came to the rescue. She removed one slipper off her foot and gingerly dipped one toe to the fallen cold item. 'Ngeeeh! Ang lamig!' (That's COOOLD!) exclaimed the yaya. She repeated this several times while making funny 'dances'. The child never got on with the crying as he was 'mesmerized' with what the yaya is doing. After some dips by the yaya, the child untied his shoe and pulled off his foot to try the 'dance'.
In the end, the cry never materialized. The yaya had changed the outlook of the child.
It's all about a new way of looking at things. The dropped ice cream is certainly a bad experience for both child and adult, but it is our response that will determine how we will live our lives after 'dropping' some things.
