Lady Spots Stranger Struggling To Board Train …What Follows Next Is A Lesson To Everyone
This is proof that one small thing can tell you a lot about a person… Here is a story from one lady that will restore your faith in humanity
It was the usual rush hour when I took the train back home. When we reached the central station many commuters got off, but there was a queue of new ones coming in.
I was looking out the window like one does, they were mostly well-to-do looking, and there was a middle-aged lady walking on crutches and holding on to two plastic bags with groceries. She was struggling to get on the train, but the people surrounding her haven’t noticed; I guess most just wanted to get back home after a long day.
Then I saw a man who made his way through the queue to her. He was a scruffy young chap with tattoos all over the place. He took her bags from her, helped her to get on the train, then sat her down in the priority seats for the elderly or the injured. I was sitting two seats behind them. He remained standing near her. She thanked him. He asked her where does she get off. She said the name of the stop. He said, “Right, that’s my stop as well.”
When we reached their destination, he helped her get off the train and secured her bags to her hands. Then as soon as she walked away, he jumped back to the train.
I was smiling to myself. Scruffy, tattoos, whatever. He’d had a heart of gold.
