One day when I was crossing the road, I found an old woman begging by the road-side. It was very cold. The old woman was wrapped in a very thin and torn piece of cloth and was shivering with cold. She was shivering so fervently that I could hear the chattering of her teeth. I removed my jacket and wanted to help her, but was really tough for me to go to school without a jacket. I searched my pocket only to find two notes of ten taka-not enough to buy her winter cloth. So, I went to her and asked her to wait for me until I return. As soon I reached school, I told the incidence to my classmates. Some good souls came forward and gave away the money that they brought to buy their tiffin. I thanked them and quickly went to the nearby market. I collected 400 taka. I bought a nice woolen blanket with 300 taka. Then I rushed to the place where I saw the woman. I was a little worried because I thought she would leave. However, she was waiting for me there still. I gave her the blanket and the rest of the money to buy food. She could not say anything and kept looking at me with tears swelling in her eyes. I think it is the responsibility of a good citizen to help people in distress. That is exactly what I did.
