DP Daily Prompt: The Kindness of Strangers
When was the last time a stranger did something particularly kind ,generous,or selfless for you? Tell us what happened!
It was a cold Friday afternoon school was over, I was walking home, The snow on the ground and on the pavement made me nervous, I thought I have to walk carefully to avoid falling, which is what I was doing, suddenly a fierce cold wind gust, blew the papers I was carrying all over the place. I was stunned, these were the spelling test papers of my kids, there were thirty altogether. I watched the papers flying further down as I was trying to pick them up. Bewildered I knew it was a futile effort on my part to gather those, I thought I’d let them go.
When I turned around to hurry home,I noticed a black car stop near the papers, a man stepped out and started picking up the papers, I was too embarrassed to walk away, so I joined in and reluctantly picked up the remaining pieces. The stranger handed me the papers he was able to collect, I was so overwhelmed by such a noble act,I forgot to thank him.
Next day my husband came home and said, “Hey Ranu did you find all your Papers?”
“How did you know about them I asked?”
“Oh, he said Mr. Jenkins asked me to ask you.”
“Really I said ,he didn’t tell me who he was !”
I thanked the Lord, if I hadn’t waited to get those papers, I would be in trouble, Mr. Jenkins’ daughter was one of my students who wrote the spelling test, imagine!

Ah, how lovely, Ranu – a very touching tale. xxx
It was so cold that day and slippery, I thought,I’d let them fly away and tell the kids what happened. The guy was seriously picking up,
how could I not join in, then I found out he was Susan’s Dad.
Sometimes, the supposed stranger is actually a friend that you have already known. OR, some strangers are friends that we have not yet met!
Yes he knew me I was his kid’s teacher.
Dear Ranu,
Thank you for sharing this act of kindness. It’s amazing how simple acts of helping others, like you describe here, can impact others so greatly.
All good wishes,
robert
Yes it does Robert, and I was the recipient of his kindness.
It is a great post Ranu 🙂 Wonderful how kindness can come to us at the time we least expect! 🙂
Yes I didn’t expect it on a snowy cold day,I was lucky.
