The Unlikely Encounter
On one particular day, a man happened to see a pregnant woman sitting on a busy street corner. She was obviously exhausted, and one would think that someone passing by would at least offer assistance. However, no one bothered to help her, so desperate her situation seemed to be with all the people moving past her.
He then filled up his heart with sympathy; hence he could not leave that place. He then went to the woman, meaning to simply tell a few good words and, possibly give some small money that will help her go on until the rest of the day.g to offer her help. He approached her gently, his voice soft as he asked if she was okay. The woman looked up at him with tired eyes and gave a small, appreciative smile. She explained that she had been walking for hours, trying to find a place to rest, but the weight of her pregnancy and the relentless crowd had made it impossible. With no family nearby and no one else offering assistance, she felt overwhelmed by the loneliness of her situation.
The man didn’t hesitate for a second. He offered to help her find a safe place to sit and rest, and even offered to buy her some water. As they walked together toward a nearby café, the woman shared that she had been trying to get to the hospital for a check-up but had been too weak to continue on her own. Touched by her story, the man made a silent promise to himself that he would do whatever he could to make sure she reached her destination safely. In that moment, a stranger’s kindness became a beacon of hope in an otherwise indifferent world.
