Indonesia: Simple Good Deed in the Bus

My name is Indhie Hanifah and I live in Serpong, but I study in Senior High School 1 Bogor. One day, I wanted to go to Bogor by bus. I was sitting in the bus when the old lady got into the bus and stood beside me. She looked tired, so I gave my seat to her. I knew I would be tired but I was happy because I have done something good.

A few weeks later, when I went to Bogor from Serpong by bus again, I had no seat, and I had to stand up in the crowded bus until the bus arrived in Bogor, it was a long and bad journey. I started to get sick. Suddenly, there was a man who gave me his seat because I might look pale. I will never forget his favor, and I had an impression that if we help other, some day we'll need other people's help, it'll come. Trust me.

INDHIE HANIFAH,
