7．I reached Cairo and took a taxi to Tahrir Square．The taxi dropped me off across the street from Hardee's，a fast-food restaurant．In the cold January air，two street children came to me with cries for food．
As a world traveler，I was used to beggars．But seldom had I been so moved by the sincerity of the plea （恳求）．I asked them to wait while I went inside to buy them food．Since I was traveling on a tight budget and was even skipping meals on occasion，part of me identified with the children's hunger．But mostly，the children reminded me how rich I really was．
At the counter I ordered two hamburgers for the boys．Then，as the hamburgers were being cooked，I overcame my remaining stinginess（小气）and bought them one of Hardee's delicious，big chocolate chip cookies．
As they took the hamburgers，they showed me with 30 seconds of nonstop blessings，praying that Allah would bless me always．After they finished，I reached into the bag and pulled out the cookie，extending it for them to take．Both boys fell silent，and tears welled up in their eyes as they insisted this was too much．They refused the cookie six times．On my seventh attempt，after a long silent pause．they held out their hands and took the cookie．
The events that night are now in the past，but there are moments when I'm transported back to that empty square and to the honest faces of two boys．Five years later，I still ask God's blessings for those two Egyptian boys．While they had nothing material to give，they gave me something greater．an awareness of my spiritual poverty and a desire for a softer heart．
