I have always believed that helping others is a rewarding experience that can bring joy and satisfaction to both the giver and the receiver. So nowadays in my country it’s really complicated to understand the weather. Sometimes it’s raining heavily, sometimes it’s a sunny day, so it’s really difficult for us people to understand what would be today’s weather. So, in two days ago, I was about, I went to my work and suddenly I just noticed that a boy, he might be 9 years old. So he is crying and standing alone in front of a closed shop. So it was not normal for me because there was no one besides him. He was standing alone and as he is a child, so I thought he might be in a problem. I went to him and I should ask him what happened. Then as I thought, I just went to him for asking and he was like crying a lot. So he even can’t express that what happened and like whatever. He never, he was not in that situation to explain all of this. But I first tried to calm him down like by like saying him good words and adoring him.

I have always believed that helping others is a rewarding experience that can bring joy and satisfaction to both the giver and the receiver. Nowadays in my country, it's really complicated to understand the weather. Sometimes it's raining heavily, and sometimes it's a sunny day, so it's difficult for us to know what the weather will be like. Two days ago, I was on my way to work when I noticed a boy, who looked about nine years old, crying and standing alone in front of a closed shop. It was unusual for me because there was no one beside him. He was standing alone, and since he was a child, I thought he might be in trouble. I approached him to ask what had happened. As I expected, he was crying a lot and couldn't express what was wrong. He was not in a situation to explain everything. I first tried to calm him down by saying kind words and comforting him. At that moment, I saw that he began to trust me, and he stopped crying. He then started to open up to me. He said that he had left his house with his mother for shopping, and suddenly it started raining heavily, and everything happened so fast. He didn't understand when he lost his mother and suddenly realized that he was standing alone. After hearing all of this, I understood that he was lost. I thought I should take responsibility for him, so I decided to help him.
