A Small Act of Kindness

A Small Act of Kindness

My wife and I live in Sarasota, FL and enjoy walking on the beach as often as possible. A few weeks ago we had parked our car and were walking along the sidewalk, adjacent to Lido beach. We noticed a homeless man with his basket and life belongings, standing on the sidewalk, not wearing any shoes. Just then, another man walked up to him, leaned over, took off his sneakers, and handed them to the homeless person. They looked at each other, nodded, and walked on, like nothing happened. As I passed the man who had given up his shoes, I said, "that was really nice for you to do that." He simply acknowledged me and walked on.
