Kind gestures
Whilst driving home yesterday, as I was approaching a roundabout near home, the car in the left hand lane to me stopped and tooted me.
I wondered what I had done wrong, but he was pointing at the road ahead.
Next, he got out of his car, and walked towards me. He must have been 6'6", a huge giant of a man he was, and I quickly locked my car doors.
Then I saw what this gentle giant was trying to do.
There was a tiny, fluffy baby duckling in total panic running round and round in the road, totally lost and separated from it's family. Wee dot of a thing, so cute, couldn't have been more than about 3" high.
It was running blind in all directions panicking, but the man pursued it and eventually caught it in his huge hands and I just saw the little eyes and bill popping over his fingers as he gently held it. He went across the road and put it in a front garden where I believe he'd seen 'Mum' go.
That really, really pleased me that this person didn't just keep driving and let it take it's chances on that roundabout.
What a kind man.
So different to the moron behind me who was scowling and tooting us to get out of his way.
So glad he cared, that really made my day seeing that rescue.
When did you last see a kindness that made your day?
