Kindness received

Lesson start at 8 in the morning, but went home at about 10 at night, having to rush project.
Had phlegm cough, nose bleed. On the way home, it rained.
I finally arrived at my stop, waiting to cross the road.
Just when I thought things were bad enough for a Monday, a lady's voice came from my left.
"小姐,我遮你过去好吗?" (Miss, I'll shelter you across the road ok?)
"Orh... Ok" was my reply, I was too surprised to the offer to make any other statements.
She held me gently by my hand as we crossed the road, looking out for coming vehicles.
At that moment, I was very thankful and touched.
"谢谢你" (Thank you)
"不用" (You're welcome)
Sharing, is what makes kindness goes around.
And come to think of it, when a stranger helps you, you would feel very grateful for it. But for those who cared for you, cook for you, look after you... do we actually show our appreciation to them?
