It's a bit lengthy but do read

Last week Friday to be precise, I went to see a friend and the bus I took dropped me at the other side of the road. I had to cross the busy express and there was no pedestrian bridge, honestly I hate crossing express roads, I would rather go find a pedestrian bridge.

Anyways I had no choice so I prepped myself, I had headphones on, the one that comes with the J8, it was loud but I could see where I wanted to cross, so I didn’t need to take them off.

As I was about crossing I saw a woman with two kids, a baby on her back and another girl around about 8years tagging along.

She said something and honestly I assumed she was begging which was usual in Nigeria and I walked away with irritation, there was no one else walking except us, I wanted to even run self before they jazz me and steal me , but I looked back and I saw she was sill following dragging her child along.

So I removed my headset and asked what she wanted, and she said she wanted me to help her cross with her kids. For a grown woman it was a Strange request but I obliged her, I was still weary so I didn’t touch or hold any of them, before I touch someone and I vanish, don’t blame me I have heard stories.

So we crossed the first part and got to the demarcation at the middle, my mind just told me to hold the smaller child as we were about crossing. Before I could say jack, this woman just sprinted through the oncoming traffic, the car coming barely missed her, before I could finish recovering, the younger child I was holding ran trying to follow her mum, thankfully I just pulled her back as the car sped past screeching.

When we crossed people were gathered shouting at the woman and thanking me. I was shaken, because I almost didn’t wanna hold that girl, she could have died and how would I have felt? I could have felt responsible for her death forever.

I know there are a lot of people cautious of others, but how do we now select or find out the people who genuinely need help? Well I learnt a valuable lesson that day thou, an act of kindness could save someone’s life, don’t forget that, ever.

Awww, kids tho.

Moral Lesson:

Sound scary

This is quite a nice write up!!

I guess we shouldnt ignore the needy.

Good Gesture OP. But I always frown at those who use Headsets while walking on the road. The Boom J8 doesn't even help matters because it has a very good sound Quality.

It's always good to be good OP. Well done and may God bless you!

@ Marinza: You did good and for that good will come to you.

.

Hmm. Be kind even Ur kindness is reciprocated with hurt or unappreciation.

It is good to be good

Nice one. Be kind at all times, you don't know how far a little act of kindness can go. Thanks OP for saving a life, a life saver will come your way too.

aww....nice story, if not for the way things are, it takes nothing to be kind to others.

Touchy I must say. well done op

moral of the story: Use your headset mostly when you`re indoors.
