Both incidents happened on my walk. First the young boy of eleven or twelve years, walking to school, gently kicking away a piece of trash that was lying on the road. It was not necessary that he do it - he could have let it be but he didn't. And then he looked around to see if anyone noticed him - not for appreciation but more out of fear that he may be seen as a sissy doing social service in an entitled world. As I passed him I patted him on the shoulder and said nothing but he smiled in acknowledgement.
We need more of your kind kid.

The second one was equally cute. As I turned the corner I saw this lady setting up her vegetable cart to sell produce for the day by the side of the road. And right in front of the cart she and her daughter, perhaps nine or ten years of age, had swept the road and watered it and made it inviting. The young girl, dressed in her school dress, was busy drawing a muggu. She was very good at it too. I felt I would be intruding if I asked for permission so I took the pic from far. Such enthusiasm to help her mother on a cold wintry morning and doing her part so well.
Such an act of love.
