I was out riding along the seafront today when a lad shouted over ‘that’s cool! Can I have a go?’ I jumped straight off and held it out to him but he hadn’t ridden before, so I helped him up onto it and gave him a few pointers. Unfortunately he didn’t even get one revolution of the pedals, but at least he tried
While I was giving him a mini lesson, his missus started panicking and said she had lost the return train tickets home There wasn’t much I could do to help them, so I ended up saying my goodbyes and went on my way…
About a mile or so down the seafront I happened to see some train tickets (three of them together) right in the middle of the path! Not really knowing if they actually were their tickets I set off as fast as I could, back the mile or so the other way. I found them looking a bit lost and worried, but when they saw the tickets their faces lit up! Pure, genuine happiness
I’m just glad for them that they were their tickets. Very lucky people
They were very lucky to have met you. It is always nice to help. It is great to be able to see there reaction.
Lovely. I hope it made your day as well - one of the best feelings is helping other people.
Yes, it did
I find I’m always happiest when I’m helping others around me to be happy too.
