To Be A Hero


There's no need to have superpowers to be a hero. Anyone could be a hero. Everyone even once in their lifes become heroes without knowing it.

For example, Carl worked on a fast-food restaurant. Each night, he gave some left-overs and the tips he earned to a homeless woman. One day, she dissapeared.

Carl didn't know what happened to that woman later. He didn't know that with the coins he have her, day by day, month by month, she bought medicines. She got a job, a house. Many years of hard work later, she became rich.

Carl was broke. After donating much of his money to charity and after he lost his job, he was broke. He was now desperated, looking for a job but couldn't find none. When he was about to give up, starving, a lawyer contacted him. He had already forgotten about the homeless he fed years ago, but the former poor woman hadn't forget him.

"Margarita Ramirez is dead, she died some days ago" the suited men told him.

He didn't recognise the name.

"She left you a letter and all her properties."

The other man gave Carl the letter and some papers to sign.

Later, Carl was sitting on a bed that was now his, in a house that also was his, with money in an bank account that now belonged to him with a letter in his hands.

It was written with a perfect calligraphy, cursive and very elegant.

Hi Carl,

You may not remember me not recognise my name but I'm Margarita Ramirez. I was a homeless woman that you fed amd gave money. I had cancer. I probably died about it if you're reading this. The coins you gave me, I kept them and didn't spend them until it was enough for a chemo. It saved my life, killing the cancer a bit, and gave me hope.

I never forgot you and all my things now belong to you. Thanks.

Thanks so much.

At that moment, it seemed like it didn't matter but you saved my life.

Thank you for giving me hope.

Thank you for showing be that you don't need superpowers To Be A Hero.

You were and always be my hero.

Thanks so much,

Margarita.

But she was wrong. She was so wrong.

Carl did have a superpower. It was just one, yet it was enough. His superpower was his generosity, a power that not anyone has.
