"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted," Mrs. Stephen, the English teacher, often reminded her class. Mark, a thoughtful student in class 10, took those words to heart.
One day, he noticed an elderly woman struggling to carry groceries to her car. Without hesitation, Mark rushed to her aid, taking the heavy bags and placing them in her trunk. The woman was deeply grateful for his assistance and struck up a conversation with him.
It turned out she was a retired teacher, and they found common ground in their love for literature. They exchanged contact information, and Mark started visiting her regularly, reading her favorite books aloud.
Their friendship grew, bridging the generation gap and providing companionship to the elderly woman. Mark's small act of kindness not only brought joy to the woman's life but also reminded his classmates of the importance of reaching out to those in need.
