It’s often said that true heroes don’t wear capes—they’re just ordinary people doing good without expecting anything in return. A hero can be anyone: a neighbor, a boss, a cashier at the store, or even you.
Story 1:
A few years ago, my husband wakes me up early in the morning and asks me where my passport is. I say, “In my bag!” And he snidely says, “Where’s your bag?”
It turns out that yesterday I wandered around a construction hypermarket and left it there while I was looking at something. The bag was found, they took out my passport, started to check on the database, whether I have a loyalty card of their shop. There was no card. They started to look if my husband had a card (they found his name in the passport).
In general, the kind people didn’t just leave it, but found me, and I was totally unaware and was sleeping peacefully. I ran to the shop, they gave me the bag, and there were a lot of things I needed — documents, money…
The security guard, a good man with a sense of humor, laughed, saying that things happen. He didn’t take the money I offered to him. There are a lot of good people out there, they just don’t flaunt their kindness.
