Helping a man on the train.
One day, I got on a train. At the next station, a man in his forties got on. He had a mental disability, so he acted in a way that people did not want to let him sit. He had a childlike mind and asked everyone many questions, but no one talked with him for long.
I felt sorry for him, so I told him to sit next to me. I put my backpack on my lap and made space for him. He sat down, and we started talking about many things. He was very happy because maybe nobody had talked with him for a long time.
We talked all the way until I got off the train. Before the train left, he waved at me. I left the station feeling happy because I made someone’s day better. I think he was very happy that someone talked with him.
