Hello Simone Rohan Nina Ed Pablo and all,

Belated greetings from this long lost volunteer teacher!:P

My story to share isn't anything grandiose,instead it's something we
all expect from others which is kindness.

My family and I went to Warsaw for three days during World Cup in
July.
On our way to check out from the hotel,I spotted an old lady having
trouble pulling her suitcase out of the lift/elevator.

Naturally,I gave her a hand,and heard her thanking me in French.

I automatically replied to her in French as well thinking she must be
French.
She hesitated and replied to me:"Oh,I am Brazilian,but living in
Germany.Where are you from?"
I replied,"I am Taiwanese but living in Poland."pointing at my sons
running around the hall.

She then asked more questions about them and before she left the hotel
with her group of travelling mates
and got on their tour bus,she handed me a key chain with a Brazilian
flag on one side saying it was for my sons,the two football fans...;-)

We had a very brief encounter which lasted no longer than 3
minutes...but kindness lasts for a lifetime whenever I think of her
smiling face and kind gesture!

Choose being kind over being right,and you'll be right every
time.~Richard Carlson

There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy
everywhere and of leaving it behind when they go.~Frederick Faber

Have an enjoyable weekend!
Pauline
