Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Tennis Camp Deed Returned Months Later


--by jorgetoch, posted Dec 28, 2017
Four years ago, I had the opportunity to go to a camp in the US. This camp was a high performance tennis camp. I trained a lot and I won three tournaments; it was an amazing summer. I met a lot of great people and I went to amusement parks which I loved.

During the third week, one of my friends ran out of money and he couldn't contact his parents. As a result, he couldn't eat so I decided to give him some of my money. He never paid me back but I didn't care; I did it because he needed it.

Two months ago, I went to a club in another city and I lost my wallet. I felt terrible and frustrated because it had all my money and my driving license and it was really important for me. After losing my wallet, I remember one guy touching my shoulder and it was him. He gave me some money and told me, “Remember when we were at the camp? You lent me money and I felt so grateful; now it’s time to help you.”

I felt really happy not because he gave me money, but because of the act of kindness. I believe that if you do a good deed, life will return it to you in another way, at the perfect moment.
