The Handsomest Man There Was

            Have you ever been given a great opportunity to reach out to others? When the villagers found the handsomest drowned man, they had a great opportunity to help the less fortunate. They had the chance to show compassion to the unfortunate. They were able to spread the word so everyone could help celebrate the less fortunate. They were able to show love for people whom they do not know. These villagers are respectable for their actions towards the unknown.

            To begin, the villagers were able to show compassion to someone who needed it badly. The handsomest drowned man was not very happy with his circumstances. They could physically see where his struggles were. He was a massive man who was sad. The villagers showed compassion by giving him the best funeral ceremony that they possibly could by dressing him nicely and treated him as one of their own. They showed compassion by treating him with respect as well. Everyone in the world needs respect so they can have a little happiness; even if they are deceased.

            They wanted everyone around them to come and send off the man with joy and peace. The massive man, Esteban, was a treasure to any village. They wanted to show him off, and they were able to share the joy with others. The villagers were able to shine light on the sad man. It is important to me that everyone is delighted with joy. I do not want anyone to not be able to have a happy moment in their lives. Unhappy people also deserve peace in their lives, just a Esteban needed. They also deserve to die with dignity.

            The villagers were able to show love to unknown people. They were appreciative of what they were given and wanted to show their love. Just because you do not know someone does not mean that you cannot show them love. Showing love to anyone can brighten his or her day. They will want to share the love that you shared and it will help more than just the person you decided to touch by your love. A chain reaction causes good.

            This is what this story means to me. People can show compassion in little ways and cause great things. They gave peace and joy to everyone attending; this causes everyone to feel comforted. They showed love to those of whom they do not know; it causes everyone to have a brighter and better day. This is how I view the story.
