TOMS RIVER, NJ – A heartwarming story of kindness unfolded on Halloween in Toms River when a young boy showed the world that good will always prevail over evil. After a family put out a bowl of candy, all of the candy in the bowl was quickly emptied and there was none left for others.
When the boy stumbled upon the empty bowl, he did the unthinkable.
He started taking candy out of his own bag and putting his own treats in the bowl for other trick-or-treaters.
“We were out trick or treating with friends, so I left a bowl of candy out, Unfortunately,” said homeowner Jessalyn Cleaver. “By 5 pm, it was empty. One kid tried taking the bowl because he was mad that the candy was gone (his dad returned it shortly after). But THEN, this little boy did this!”
“I’m going to put some candy in here for some other people,” the boy said as he began emptying his bag into the bowl.
He loaded the bowl before heading to the next house for trick-or-treating, but the real treat was his act of kindness.
