One day, when I was a child, I was going home after my school day. It was Wednesday and the shops were all opened. On the road there was a terrible traffic jam!!!

My mum told me to go to the bakery and buy some bread. I was opposite the baker and I had to cross the road. While I was waiting, an elderly woman begged me to help her cross the road because she had broken her leg and she couldn’t walk very well.

The traffic light turned green and I took the elderly woman by her arm to cross the road together. She thanked me and continued on her way.

That day, I felt very happy because I had helped an elderly woman with a broken leg to cross the road. And, also, with this good deed I felt kind.
