13 People Who Made This World a Bit Better With Their Kindness
Story 1:
I tipped a waitress $50 for a $20 meal because her other table was treating her so badly that she was crying in the back. © EMRmania / Reddit
Story 2:
My older sister used to tell everyone as a kid that she would only marry a guy who had a full collection of hippos from Kinder Surprise. It’s been about 20 years since then, and the childhood promise has, of course, lost its relevance. Recently, her childhood friend unexpectedly proposed to her, who had long been in love with her, but didn’t dare to confess to her.
He gave her a ring in a box that said, “I spent all my conscious life on it, even had to go abroad in search of some of them. Marry me!” And there were all the hippos from that very collection in the box along with the ring. The sister fulfilled her promise. © Chamber 6 / VK
Story 3:
My boss is strict, she never smiles. Once I was walking to work and found a kitten at the bus stop. I couldn’t just leave it, so put the little one under the jacket and took it to work. The boss saw the kitten, which I tried to hide in a box, and transformed literally in a second: a wide smile and so much tenderness in the eyes that I didn’t expect to see.
She took the kitty in her arms, poured it cream, which she adds to her coffee. And after asking if it was mine, she said that she would adopt the baby. She immediately ordered a bag of cat food, a litter tray and a bowl to the office. I think the kitten will live in paradise now. And it’s nice to find out that this robot-like lady is actually kind-hearted. © THE SRCH / VK
Story 4:
I changed a lady’s tire on the side of the road. She didn’t think I’d be able to do it (female) but her husband was an hour away. She offered me $50 when it was done, I denied and just said pay it forward.
She cried, so I hugged her and told her to drive safe. It felt good. Prior to that, I was having such a bad day. After that, I felt so much better. © Weelooweeloo / Reddit

Story 6:
At the checkout, an old lady gave me some change while I was trying to find my coins in the bag. I paid, found my coins and, feeling terribly embarrassed because I’m young and earning well, tried to give the money back to the lady. But she didn’t take it, just said, “Oh, come on, you have to do good.” I feel like I am involved in the boomerang of goodness, and it seems that soon it will be my turn. © Overheard / Ideer
