Surely, each of us has been either assisted or offered assistance to someone, whether a relative or a stranger. And, I've indeed helped a stranger.
On a journey back from school, amidst the scorching midday sun of summer, the streets were deserted. I spotted a woman carrying a baby in one arm and a load of belongings in the other. I hurried over and called out, 'Ma'am!' The woman turned around, her face looking exhausted, sweat dripping as if she had been under the sun for too long. The baby she carried was also sweaty, its face pale. It must have been uncomfortable under the blazing sun. I said, 'Where are you headed? Let me carry some of your belongings to ease your burden,' to which she replied, 'You're so kind! I'm heading to the bus station just across the street, a short distance away. If you could help, I'd be very grateful.'
So, I picked up two bags to help her and walked with her to the bus station. After helping her, she kept thanking me, and I never imagined that such a small gesture would make such a big difference to someone else.

Today, while watching the 'Kind Acts' program, I suddenly remembered an act I once did to help someone in need.
That day was an afternoon on my way home from school, the sky threatening to pour down rain, everyone rushing to escape the impending downpour. Yet, there was someone walking slowly, calmly, and unruffled. As I approached, I realized it was a woman carrying a baby and burdened with heavy luggage. I felt she needed assistance, but everyone was rushing to avoid the rain, paying no attention. At first, I hesitated, only daring to follow closely behind. But then, I mustered the courage to speak up. I said to the woman, 'It's about to rain, let me help you carry the luggage so you can get home quickly before it pours.' The woman turned back, smiled at me, and said, 'Thank you, but my luggage is too heavy for you to carry.' I insisted she let me try, and then I helped her carry it for a considerable distance.
Afterward, the woman caught a bus to her hometown before the rain started pouring, while I managed to run back home just in time before the heavy rain. Doing a good deed to help someone else made me very happy, and I will try to help those around me more often.

During a storytelling session about the good deeds of our class, I shared with our teacher and classmates a story of my act of helping others.
It was a time when I assisted a woman carrying a small child and a lot of luggage. While waiting for my mother at the school gate, I encountered a woman around my mother's age, carrying a baby of about a few months old in one arm and wearing a heavy backpack on her shoulder, with several bags in her other hand. Seeing how difficult it was for her, I immediately felt the need to help. So, I approached her and asked, 'Where are you headed with so much luggage? Can I help carry some for you?' The woman turned around, looking tired but still managing to smile, and said to me, 'I'm heading to the bus stop up ahead. Can you help me carry this to there?' Without hesitation, I went over to help her carry the bags and accompanied her. After the woman and the baby boarded the bus, she looked down from the bus and thanked me.
Though carrying the luggage was heavy and my hands were a bit sore, I felt very happy and fulfilled, as if I had just accomplished something significant and beautiful.
