Kevin was on his way home after a fruitful job interview, which he couldn’t wait to share with his kids. He boarded a crowded tram that was making its way slowly through several stops before arriving in his neighborhood.

Kevin spotted a struggling mother pushing a stroller up the tram while holding her young child in her arms about halfway home. He got up from his seat and assisted her in bringing the stroller inside after noticing that no one else offered to assist her.

The woman answered with an apology on her face, “Thank you so much. She appeared exhausted from dragging the stroller around, and her hair was untidy.

“Hard day?” As he offered her his seat on the tram, Kevin said. The lady gave a head nod.

“Yeah. I took this little one on a walk because she couldn’t sleep at home. We’re on the tram because I’m too worn out to walk home. Cynthia, if you’re wondering. I’m grateful that you gave up your seat for me “said the woman.

Ah, the infant stage. Sighing, Kevin. “To put them to sleep, we must use every trick in the book. Kev here.” He grinned, remembering the early years of his children.

“You have kids? What age are your children?” Cynthia enquired.

He held up his phone screen to show her his three daughters, adding, “Yup, proud single dad to three little ladies.”

Cynthia grinned, “You have such wonderful girls.” She was curious, “Who do you leave your kids with?”

“I give my neighbor custody of them. Fortunately, because she has some hearing loss, she is not as bothered by their screaming. I recently started working downtown, so I might need to leave them there more frequently “Kevin disclosed.

I saw Cynthia nod. “Do you reside in this area? We might live close to one another.”

“I do. Sixth Street is only one more stop away from where I reside. Who are you?” Kev enquired.

“Third Street! Mrs. Barrymore must be your neighbor! She is the closest friend of my granny. She is missed. I ought to go see her shortly. On Eighth Street, I reside “Cindy grinned.

“How little the world is! It’s odd that we haven’t met before, “Kevin questioned.

It was Kevin’s halt before Cynthia and Kevin could continue their conversation. He waved her off and wished her luck as she embarked on motherhood.

The following day, Mrs. Barrymore was seated by herself in Kevin’s living room when Kevin arrived home from his new job. Hello, Mrs. Barrymore! Surprised, Kevin said. What happened to the kids?

Mrs. Barrymore nodded toward the children’s chamber while grinning. Kevin hurried to their room since he believed the kids were alone there.

Instead, he noticed Cynthia holding his daughter Sophia, age three, in her arms. Cynthia was swinging the young girl around in the air as they played. While his other children were busy sketching, Sophia was grinning from ear to ear.

“Cynthia? What a shock! Why are you in this place? “enquired Kevin.

Cynthia grinned and informed him that she had made the decision to go see Mrs. Barrymore and the children. She said, “I wanted to explore how I might help.”

Cynthia helped clean the house, wash the laundry, bathe the girls, and even prepare dinner for the entire family, according to Mrs. Barrymore, who informed Kevin about it.

“What? Why?” Surprised, Kevin enquired. “None of that was required of you. To be honest, I’m rather humiliated “He confessed.

Cynthia gave a headshake. “Kevin, it’s nothing. The least I could do in return for yesterday’s kindness from you.

I’ll be honest, as I was getting on the tram, I was on the verge of passing out. I was worn out! I don’t know what would have happened to my son and I if it weren’t for you “She spoke up.

Kevin embraced Cynthia and said, “Thank you very much. “I can’t tell you how much I value this. I’ve fallen behind on my domestic duties.”

Cynthia smiled and said, “The goodness you send out to the world will always find its way back to you.

What can we take away from this narrative?

Do something to assist someone when you can. When Kevin observed Cynthia straining to push the stroller up the tram, he didn’t think twice to assist her.

Whenever you get the opportunity, assist someone who is in need. It can give them the boost they require to get through the day.

The good you spread around the globe will always come back to you. Kevin offered his assistance to Cynthia without expecting anything in return, but Cynthia made sure to show her gratitude by looking after his kids the following day.

Tell your friends about this experience. It might motivate them and make their day better.
