On a chilly November evening, Greg, a 40-year-old construction worker, paused at a train station, noticing a woman, Lily, holding her baby and looking out of place. Her voice, shaky with desperation, asked him for money to get home. Moved by her sincerity, Greg offered to buy them food instead and later gave her his entire paycheck, meant for his children’s education, urging her to get home safely.
The next day, a man in a sharp suit arrived at Greg’s door in a limousine, revealing that Lily was once a successful businesswoman who had fallen on hard times. Stranded and without money, Lily had wandered the streets, and Greg’s kindness had deeply affected her.
The man handed Greg an envelope from Lily—his children’s education was fully funded, along with extra support for his family. Greg and his wife, Diana, were stunned by the unexpected gift.
The man explained, “Sometimes, a small act of kindness is worth more than all the wealth in the world. Lily wanted to repay you for saving her life.”
As the limousine drove away, Greg and Diana embraced, overwhelmed with gratitude. Greg whispered, “I guess you never know how much good a little kindness can do.” Diana, tearful, nodded, “And sometimes, it finds its way back to you tenfold.”
