A Good Deed

In the school, the teacher taught that we should do the good thing every day. For example, helping the old person to cross the road and giving the seat to the old person or the pregnant woman. I remember that I took the bus one time, I saw a young man sit on the priority seat. Then there is an old man came up to the bus. The young man pretended to sleep and he did not want to stand up. I felt very angry. That young man was so abominable. Then I hit lightly to the young man and told him that he should stand up to give the seat to the old man. He was surprise and a little angry. Although he was a little angry he still stood up to give the seat to the old man. The old man very thanks for me. I felt very happy all day because I help a person and did a good thing. When I came home, I told my mom this thing and hope that she could compliment on me, but she did not. My mom told me another story.
One day, a teacher brought her students to take the MRT. In the MRT, there is a girl sit on the priority seat and there is an old man who was standing beside her. However, she did not stand up and she just looked down on her shoes. The teacher saw the situation and she told her students that if there were old people in the MRT we should give the seat to them. Teacher said loudly and she wanted to let the girl could hear what she said. And there were many people saw the girl. The girl heard about the conversation, but she did not stand up and she still looked down her shoes. When the station was arrived, the girl stood up and walked slowly to the gate. The girl was the handicapped.
My mom told me this story because she wanted me to know that the young man who was called up by me maybe he was get sick today. So, he did not give the seat to the old man. Helping people is a good thing to us, but we still have to consider others’ mind. (382)
