Giving is the Best Communication

This three-minute video is tear-jerking, heart-whelming and full of truth. It’s a reminder that each act of kindness is necessary. Karma exists, it might not happen right away but it will come when you need it most.

People have compared its impact to movies like Titanic, Watership Down and Up.

The video, by phone company True Move H, begins with a small boy being chased out of a pharmacy by the owner, who’s caught him stealing and labels him a thief. She snatches the medicine he’s taken out of his hands and demands to know what he’s planning on doing with it. The boy replies embarrassingly that the medicine is for his mom, indicating that she’s sick.

At this point a man from a nearby store comes over and calms the situation down by paying the pharmacy owner for the stolen items. He hands the boy the medicine and tells his daughter to fetch him vegetable soup, too.

The boy runs off and the film jumps forward 30 years, with the store owner still plying his trade with his daughter’s help.

Suddenly, to the horror of his daughter, he collapses. She is distraught as he lays unconscious in the hospital and horrified that she’s been hit with a $15,500 medical bill.

She talks to the doctor who’s attending to her father looking numb with shock. Desperate, she puts her house up for sale to cover the cost.

The next scene shows her asleep with her head on her father’s bed. Upon waking, she finds a new medical bill in an envelope next to her. The amount? Nothing at all. $0.00

A note with the bill explains that ‘all expenses have been paid, with three packs of painkillers and a bag of veggie soup.’

It turns out that the doctor tasked with saving her dad  is the same boy that he helped all those years ago after he stole medicine from the pharmacy.

‘Giving is the best communication’ states the ad at the end.
