One Grain Does Not Fill A Sack But It Helps

Within thirty minutes, Tunde had gotten out of bed and was dressed for work. He walked into the living room just as his kids raced to the dining table. Giving his wife a peck, he joined them at the table for breakfast.
Wanting to get to work early to complete some job left undone, Tunde wolfed down his breakfast and rushed out.
On the way, he met little traffic and so travelled quickly. About a street from the bank premises where he worked, he came across a hit-and-run accident. A little girl had been hit by a bike and the mother was seriously lamenting, looking for a means to get him to the nearest hospital.
Tunde offered to convey the child and mother to the hospital and after the girl was admitted, he gave the woman #5,000 telling her to manage it even if it was small. With tears in her eyes, the woman profusely thanked him, assuring him that though a grain of sack does not fill a sack, it helps.
