I woke up this morning and decide to meet my friends in the college , I left my house at 10:00 AM and start walking to the Tram station . I heard a man voice shouting " Mohamed " "Mohamed " while i was walking then a women come and told me " this man is calling you " , " Me ? " I asked . I looked back and saw an old man carrying a heavy bag and a wooden box , he looks very old and very weak .
" can you help me carrying this heavy things until we found a taxi ? " he asked
actually helping someone like him would not cause me a problem at all , so I carry his bag and the box after that he tries to depend on me while he was walking . the old man was smiling all the way then he asked about my name so I replayed " Ali " my name is Ali . " its a nice name young man " he said . he tells me that he was having a problem with nerves in his right arm more than that some guy hit the same arm in a car accident today ‘s morning so that make it worth and that is why the old man was just calling for anyone to help him .
while we was walking he was complaining about the people of our time because they only looking for helping themselves only unlike the people in his old time which they were helping each other and were so cooperative .
" I will take a taxi from the other side of the street so help me to cross it " he said " its OK there is no much cars we can cross it easily " I said
When we reach the other side of the road he looked at me and said :
I am an Old Man so I do not have much to lose in my life , in my age now I can not change something in this world I just waiting for my time . But you young man still have a lot to live for , the energy inside you can change anything at anywhere , please make a good use of your time and help the others because When you help someone else,you heal your own wound.
He was keeping smiling until he get in a taxi and thanked me for carrying his stuff then he left , every word he said to me was right but how someone in his age can not change the world but can affect me ?
and that was my day When I met the Old Man
