BEING NICE

“Be nice to everyone!” I have been listening to these words since the time I started to understand things. My parents repeat these words at least ten times in a day. To tell you the truth I am not a very nice person by nature. Sometimes I become rude and throw tantrums. But my parents always advise me to be nice and gentle to everyone. My class mates usually dislike me for my rude behaviour. One day something strange happened. I was sitting in the ground enjoying my scrumptious lunch when I saw a small, young kid sitting in a corner and weeping silently. For the first time in my life I felt bad to see that kid. I got up and walked towards the child.“Why are you crying?” I asked the child. When she heard this she started crying loudly. I tried to console the child and asked her again what was wrong with her. The child took a deep breath and told me that her mother had died recently and there was no one to take care of her as her dad was a really busy person. I felt bad for the child. I saw that she did not even have her lunch. I didn’t know how and why I gave my lunch box to her. As soon as she got the lunch box, there was a big smile on her face. Something glowed in my heart and I thought that it was not so difficult to be nice to others.
