One quiet afternoon, an elderly woman stood by the roadside, hoping for help. Many passed by, but one boy chose kindness. This short story reminds us how small acts of goodness can leave lasting impressions.
A Good Boy
An old woman stood at the edge of a busy road. She was weak and unable to cross alone. She waited for a long time, watching people pass by. A group of schoolboys walked by, laughing and chatting. They saw her but didn’t stop. They were happy and in a hurry to get home.
But one boy approached her and said, “Mother, do you want to cross the road? I’ll help you.”
He gently held her hand and led her across the road.
When they reached the other side, he smiled and said, “I helped someone’s mother today.
Maybe someone will help my mother when she’s old.”
The woman looked up and whispered, “Dear God, be kind to this good boy.”
