Let me tell you about three NY acts of kindness I've seen this week. As I crossed a busy street, a middle-aged vision-impaired man was working his way with a cane off the curb when he suddenly stopped as if he was unsure about whether or not to cross. He then said to no one in particular, "A little help, please?" Then another man in a business suit graciously took his arm and helped him cross over.
The second act was seeing a young man run up to a lady and hand her some piece of paper that she'd dropped on the sidewalk. It was obvious he had run to catch up with her. "You dropped this a while back." he told her. The woman was grateful.
Yesterday I noticed a little black dog who was tied to a tree by his leash in front of a small grocery store. The dog was barking like mad, trying to get his owner to come out. Then a person went up to the dog and tried to console it. The dog seemed quite happy to have someone pay attention to it; it jumped up on her, wagged its tail and barked even more. I told the dog his owner would come out soon, and he did.
