A Brief Encounter with a Real Hero

I was really touched by an incident I witnessed two days ago. While waiting at the traffic light, I saw one gentleman leave the comfort of his air-conditioned car, pick up a small dead bird lying on the hot asphalt surface & place it gently on the shaded grassy surface away from traffic & then resume his driving.

It all happened in a matter of few seconds but it really left me spell bound & almost brought tears to my eyes. Strange are the ways of son of Adam, I thought. There are some who are blood thirsty for their own kind & then there are others who never let go of an opportunity to show their mercy towards other creatures of the Creator.

When was the last time you witnessed a similar incident which left you lost for words? Do share your thoughts :-)
