Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Water


--by bhappy, posted Jan 21, 2007

I live in an apartment.  While downstairs waiting for my boyfriend, I saw an elderly women with a shopping cart.  I then looked away and was in my own thoughts. I could hear her walking up the stairs stopping and  trying to catch her breath.   I looked and saw her cart was packed with 1 gallon  water jugs.  I jumped up and grabbed two and carried them upstairs.   She wanted to come down and help me but I told her no. 

I must have carried 20 gallons up and down the stairs.  She kept on thanking me, but it was my pleasure.  I truly believe that what goes around comes around and if my parents or grandparents ever need help.  Somebody will be there to help with a smile on there face.

She might have had a very bad fall on those stairs, a stroke or heart attack! She will be telling folks about the time the girl helped carry all those water jugs up the stairs for her for a very long time. :) Your act of kindness will be told to everyone she knows. It will surely be passed.
