Watchful Eyes

The school bell rang, and the children ran down to the lunchroom. The Jewish day school was having a special lunch, which included treats that parents had brought in as a fundraiser for the school.

At the beginning of the lunch line, there was a basket full of apples. Next to the apples, a teacher had placed a little card that read, "Take only one, Hashem is watching."

Later on in the line, there was a big plate of cookies that were already half empty. There was a small piece of paper laid up against the plate with a note written in a child's sloppy handwriting that read, "TAKE AS MANY AS YOU WANT, HASHEM IS WATCHING THE APPLES."
