Rather than taking the last piece for himself, the boy dips the food into a sauce and places it into his sister’s plate. Smiling, the sister excitedly turns to her brother and kisses his cheek in thanks.
Like the video’s uploader, Twitter users fell in love with the children, admiring their apparent bond and compassion for each other.
“So sweet … Each one of you must feel it when you have a siblings. Everything we share. Like always people say, ‘sharing is caring’. When you’re growing up & your others sibling have their own life, you’ll miss these moments & never forget it,” one user said.
Another user added: “This brought tears to my eyes, especially as a father.. Children usually have so much more of a strong connection to the loving light of heaven/higher dimensions/creator/God than adults do. As time goes by people lose their inherent sweetness..”
“Just the way they smile at each other. Love,” a viewer commented.
