Thank you ***

The tree branch lay on the road, making half the road impassable. As I walked around the branch, I noticed that the morning traffic was a little inconvenienced, trying to manoeuvre through the bottleneck created by the fallen branch. As I came around the corner, on my second round of my morning walk, I saw two old ladies standing near the fallen branch. As I came closer, it became apparent that they were trying to move the branch to the side, with little success.

I felt a wave of shame.

“Aunty, let me do it.”

I dragged the branch to the side. The ladies stood watching.

“Thank you so much.” The ladies smiled at me.

“Thank you aunty.”

Thank you indeed. For that lesson.
