air-condition

ben
Eva, at her early twenty's, had been working for two months already in a well-known company. Everything was going smoothly in her job but there was only one thing she didn't like. The office had no air-condition. For almost 2 months of staying in the office, she had been complaining the temperature. However, one incident made her realize one thing:

As she was on a taxi going to work, she saw a family walking along the streets. She presumed that the family had no house because she saw them almost everyday on that road rambling around. They wandered from one place to another tolerating the heat of the sun. Their skin were almost burnt and black. The family's only shield was a box made of paper at daytime. At night time, they went under a bridge to rest and sleep.

Her heart was struck after seeing this family on the street several times. Since then, she never complained about having no air-condition in her office. Whenever she felt warm, she thought of the family walking on the streets under the scorching heat of the sun.
