A selfless schoolboy brought a homeless man to tears after giving him the last slices of his PIZZA.
Kind Mackenzie O’Brien, four, walked over to the man and said: “Here you go, just in case you’re hungry”.
His good deed has been praised by dozens after mum Cheryl posted it on Facebook.
Cheryl, 26, said: “We had had a long day so we went for some food after school.
“He had a pizza but he still had some left when he said he was full.
“He has never really questioned me about people in the street before but I think he had an inkling because he asked me if he could give the pizza to the man, because he thought he looked hungry.
“The man was close to crying when Mackenzie handed it to him.”
The homeless man had been sitting outside Marks & Spencer in Lancaster, Lancs., when MacKenzie walked past.
Cheryl, of Morecambe, Lancs., who is also mum to two-year-old Brody, said: “It made me so happy that he was happy to give up his food like that.
“I explained to him afterwards about why the man was in the street.
“I explained to him that some people don’t have a house to live in. I am not sure he understood the concept of people living in the street but he took it in.
“He just saw the man had a blanket and said he looked hungry and wanted him to have his pizza.”
“He was quite pleased with himself and said he was going to tell his teachers about it.”
Cheryl, who herself spent some time homeless after her mum died when she was just 16, added: “He loves his food and doesn’t normally want to share so that makes me even more proud.”
