Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Stroller and Stairs on a Rainy Night


--by sleepytomato, posted May 5, 2008
I was in downtown Paris one evening and it was a breezy and even a bit rainy. We were in front of the metro, trying to decide where to head next when I saw this woman pushing a stroller with a baby. She was headed down the stairs of the metro and she spent awhile trying to figure out how to get the stroller down without disturbing the baby. She was trying to go down the stairs backwards and I knew that I had to help her. So i ran over to her and lifted the end of the stroller so that we were carrying the stroller down instead of bumping it against the stairs, step by step.
It was a small act but the lady was very thankful and I felt very good to be able to do something good :)
