Complete answer:
 In the evening, my mother requested that I go to the market. Initially, I tried to avoid her, but when I realised she needed milk for my younger brother, I unwillingly left home. I arrived at the store and was ready to pay for the milk when I noticed a young child asking for money with his sister. I was affected by the beggar's plight and reasoned that if my brother went without milk for a day, he would live, but if this young girl went without milk today, she would most likely die.

Then, without thinking about it, I handed all of my money to those siblings for their lunch. I returned home with nothing. My mum chastised me at first before knowing the full tale. She assumed I had spent the entire amount on ice cream or chocolates. But after hearing the full tale, she was proud of me and clapped me on the back for my selfless service. As a result, we should always assist others in their time of need. God is believed to assist those who assist themselves.
