One day, I was traveling on a
local train when a lady from a village got on. She had five kids with her and a
lot of luggage. She seemed new to the city, confused and worried, not even
knowing her stop. She came with her luggage near the door, and everyone
shouted, "Go inside!" But no one listened when she said her stop was
far away. The lady was uncomfortable with the words of the other passengers, so
she didn’t go inside.
Finally, her stop came. My
friends and I told her not to worry; we would help her. Since the train only
stops for 20-25 seconds at each station, we quickly took the hands of the five
kids and grabbed her luggage. We instructed her to get off the train by
herself. It was very crowded, but we managed to get everyone and everything off
the train.
Once off, she started counting
her kids and luggage. Suddenly, her husband came from the male coach. He asked,
"Are you okay?" She replied nicely, "Yes." But we all
shouted at him, "If she is new, why did you leave her alone in the ladies
coach with kids and luggage, and you came down empty-handed?" They didn’t
feel guilty and didn’t say thanks for what we did.
Every day, we experience new
stories. I will share more with you if you like… Till then, be happy and help others.
