A Stranger's Kindness

I used to travel two hours every day just to attend school. One rainy morning,

my bicycle chain broke halfway. I stood there helpless, worried I’d be late for an exam.

A small roadside tea seller noticed me. Without asking anything, he fixed my cycle

with his own tools and said, “Beta, padhai mat chhodna.” I reached school

on time and passed that exam. Years later, I still remember him—because sometimes,

a stranger’s small kindness can change your entire future.
