One late winter's evening I was standing at a bus stop in gloomy, wet and windy London. Then I noticed a young man running as fast as he could and just behind him there was a number eight bus.
He wasn't going to make it to the bus stop in time - unless I did something!
I held my hand out and stopped the bus. The guy was still running, so I proceeded to walk slowly towards the bus. I put my right foot on the step to keep the door open and, finally, the young man reached the bus stop!
He stopped next to me and leaned against a tree to catch a breathe and let me get on the bus first. But I turned around and stepped back. He looked at me with surprise. Then he understood what I had done for him.
He got on the bus but still kept looking at me. I smiled and turned away. The bus left. I felt good.
Every little helps!

vicki wrote: It is wonderful to do kind things for others. Goethe said, "kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. " i have learned that the greatest gift is to give without taking credit for it or to publicize it. To give anonomously to thwart the ego is commendable. What "i" have done kindly is not subject to society's approval.
