Tell me about a time a small act of kindness from a stranger really touched you.

B Natural answer

A few years ago, I got caught in the rain after missing my train, and I was standing at the station trying to figure out what to do. A man nearby noticed that I looked lost and just asked if I needed help. He didn't have much time, but he offered me his map, showed me the right platform, and even walked me to the bus stop when the trains were delayed. What touched me most was that he acted like it was totally normal. He never asked for anything and never tried to turn it into a big moment. He was just a good stranger being kind. I was already having a rough week, so that small bit of support honestly stayed with me. It made me feel calmer, and it also made me more likely to help someone else when I can.
