Male Female

Okay, so in our busy lives, we don't get that much time to go out of our boundaries, and we also don't get that much time to help someone by going out of our way. I remember once there was an older woman who needed to go somewhere. As much as I remember, she needed to take a bus to her hometown. At that time, she asked me for help. I should mention that she was my neighbor, and it was during the rainy season. She needed someone to drop her off at the bus station. To do that, she booked a cab, but unfortunately, the cab did not arrive on time, and I don't know what happened at that moment. So she asked me for help and told me that if I could drop her off, that would be great. I instantly told her that I would help her. I asked her to bring the keys to my car, and I took her to the bus station. After reaching the bus station, she thanked me, and I felt like I had done something very great. I think it's a wonderful thing if you can help someone by going out of your way. That was the time I felt very joyful. I wouldn't say I was on cloud nine, but I felt proud of myself. When I explained this to my mother, she also felt proud of me and told me that I should help someone whenever I get the chance.
