"I am not fasting for my parents, I am fasting for Allah"

There was a little girl (six years old) who was fasting in Ramadhan,
even though it is not obligatory on people below the age of puberty.
She was in school, and at lunch time, when all the other children went
out to eat and have lunch, she sat in the classroom, because she was
fasting.
Her (non-muslim) teacher thought that she was too young to fast, and
so said that it was not necessary, and she could eat a little.
The girl still didn't eat. Then the teacher said:"Your parents are not
here,it doesn't matter if you eat a little".
The girl replied: "I am not fasting for my parents, I am fasting for Allah".
This simple statement had such a profound effect on the teacher, that
later she accepted Islam...!!
