The Leftover Roti

 Every night, Meena would clear the kitchen and throw away the extra roti. One night, her mother-in-law quietly placed the leftover on the compound wall. The next morning, Meena noticed a stray dog sitting there, waiting. Days passed, the dog kept returning. One evening, during a power cut, Meena’s young son wandered out. The same dog barked non-stop near the gate until everyone rushed out and found the child close to the road.

Moral: What we give with little thought might return to protect us when we least expect it.
