Expliqué aux enfants
Imagine you have only two cookies left, but your friend has lots of cookies. If both of you share one cookie each with someone else, even though it’s less in number, you are sharing more because that's all you have. That's like the widow Jesus was talking about.

Application pour aujourd'hui
In today's context, this could mean that someone who donates a small amount from their meager savings to help others is making a bigger sacrifice than someone with wealth donating a large sum but still keeping plenty for themselves.
