Suasana Kebun Raya Bogor dipenuhi dengan pengunjung. Laki-laki, perempuan, tua maupun muda semuanya ada disana. Saat itu adalah hari libur panjang sekolah sehingga banyak pengunjung yang pergi liburan. Seorang anak kecil tiba-tiba datang. Dengan pakaian sederhana, ia menjajakan tikar dari plastik kepada para pengunjung ke pengunjung lain, ia terus menawarkan tikarnya. “Pak, mau sewa tikar?”katanya pada Pak Umar. “Berapa harga sewa satu lembar tikarnya?”tanya Pak Umar. “Lima ribu rupiah, Pak!” jawabnya dengan suara lembut. “Bagaimana kalau Bapak ambil tiga puluh ribu rupiah?” tanya Pak Umar lagi. Anak itu diam sejenak. Kemudian ia pun berkata,”Baiklah kalau begitu. Silahkan pilih, Pak!”
Pak Umar memilih tikar plastik yang akan disewanya. Dalam hati Pak Umar ada rasa tak tega terhadap gadis itu. Anak berusia delapan tahun harus bekerja keras untuk mendapatkan uang. “Kamu sekolah?” tanya Pak Umar. “Sekolah, Pak, saya kelas empat SD” jawabnya. ”Mengapa kamu menyewakan tikar plastik ini?” tanya Pak Umar lagi. “Saya harus membantu ibu saya” jawab anak itu. “Kemana ayahmu?” Pak Umar bertanya lagi. “Bapak telah lama meninggal dunia. Untuk itu, saya harus membantu ibu untuk mencari uang” jawab anak itu pelan. Mendengar cerita anak tersebut, Pak Umar merasa terharu.
Pak Umar merasa kasihan terhadap anak tersebut. Diambilnya beberapa lembar uang dua puluh ribuan lalu diberikannya kepada anak itu. “Pak maaf, saya tidak boleh menerima uang jika tidak bekerja“ katanya sambil menggeleng-gelengkan kepala. “Mengapa?” tanya Pak Umar heran. “Kata ibu, saya boleh menerima uang kalau memang hasil bekerja. Saya tidak boleh meminta belas kasihan dari orang“. Mendengar perkataan gadis itu, Pak Umar makin terharu. “Begini saja, kalau memang harus bekerja, sekarang bantu Bapak beserta keluarga. Tolong kamu bawakan rantang ini. Kita akan makan bersama di bawah pohon yang rindang itu!” kata Pak Umar ramah. Pak Umar dan keluarga menuju ke bawah pohon yang rindang tersebut. Mereka pun menggelar tikar plastik yang baru saja disewanya. Anak itu pun diajak untuk makan bersama.
