A touching event

Yesterday while coming home from work, an incident touched my heart. After a long day at work, I was returning home. Even at 9.30 there was a huge amount of traffic :( At the end of long days such as yesterday...I just wish to fly back home. I usually get a chartered bus or share cabs on my way back...yesterday the queue was unusually long. While standing in the queue and fuming at the lack of proper transport, I suddenly saw a lot of colourful toffees all over the road. A old man, almost toothless, had dropped the glass jar that contained the toffees that he was selling. his bag (equally old) gave way:( There was a huge rush to clear out the toffees…the drivers and many of us around helped him pick up the toffees. And he kept thanking everyone... Within no time, I saw people from the queue; people passing by and anyone who witnessed this, come forward and offer him money. His bag contained everything he owned and the glass jar with the toffees was his only means of livelihood. I hope ...
