Personally, I would have done the same because it’s so hard these days, not only to be nice, but to accept niceness. I believe that there is certain responsibility to accepting another’s efforts to help. WThat when someone puts forth a show of trust such as that stranger did, it is not merely important to see that he walks away from the situation glad to have helped, it is vital.

Accepting and offering help in this fashion is never an isolated instance. It always is a crossroads for the future, and yet few people seem to realize it. People often don’t stop to think that the manner in which the entire situation is handled will dictate whether or not the stranger ever offers to help anyone else, and also whether or not the man in need will help when it comes his time to be in the stranger’s shoes.

I believe the lesson this type of story teaches (because there is a lesson in EVERY story) is that we should never take advantage of a strangers assistance and we should always help when we have it in our power to do so. people always reap what they sow. Rarely is the source the same, but it does always come back to us. It is part of the balance of the world.

In everything and everyone everywhere, the key is balance. Remember that-
