Today I would like to talk about a time when I made a promise to someone. Three years happened approximately six months ago when I was traveling by train from Sile to Dhaka to meet my relatives after finishing my 12th standard exam. When I started my journey I showed that I have a fellow traveller and she is around 55 years old and she is traveling alone in Sile to Dhaka. So I felt some sad for her because she was not so much active which I need for her travel. So from the beginning I helped her by doing some things like order for tea and help her to carry her baguettes. I helped her to carry her baguettes and help her to take her in herself and put them here. So in the middle of our journey she was entrusted and there was no water around us and even not with any fellow travellers. So she got off from the train to have some water and after leaving she told me that take her off my belongings. At that time I made a promise that I will take off my belongings because all people are so unconscious and do type of mindset. So I just made this and after 30 minutes she was returned and our train started to move back.

Today I would like to talk about a time when I made a promise to someone. This happened approximately six months ago when I was traveling by train from Sile to Dhaka to meet my relatives after finishing my 12th standard exam. When I started my journey, I noticed that I had a fellow traveler who was around 55 years old and traveling alone from Sile to Dhaka. I felt a bit sad for her because she was not very active, which I thought she needed for her travel. From the beginning, I helped her by doing things like ordering tea and helping her carry her bags. I helped her carry her bags and assisted her in settling in. In the middle of our journey, she needed water, and there was none around us, not even with any fellow travelers. So she got off the train to get some water, and before leaving, she asked me to take care of her belongings. At that moment, I made a promise that I would look after her belongings because people can be quite careless and have that type of mindset. I made this promise, and after 30 minutes, she returned, and our train started to move again.
