It’s a common belief that today’s kids lack regard for their elders. That is absolutely true in some cases; young people ought to be more appreciative of those who contributed to the creation of our nation as we know it now.
It’s not always the case, though. Young people engage in a variety of daily activities that are deserving of greater attention.
One such tale is this one. My goal is that we can assist in its propagation such that it creates pond ripples that eventually impact a great deal of people.
In 2018, Evoni Williams, who was then eighteen years old, performed her regular shift behind a counter at Waffle House in Houston.
It was there that she saw an old man who needed an oxygen tank to assist him. He was having trouble slicing his food. Evoni tried to assist the elderly man, whose hands were not functioning as effectively as they used to.

US news sites report that over 40,000 people have shared this act of kindness on Facebook, about a week after it was done.
Additionally, the Texas Southern University School quickly received the photo and reportedly extended an offer of a $16,000 scholarship to Evoni.
For Williams, who graduated from high school in May and has been working at Waffle House to raise money for college, it was a present that changed his entire life.
The kid claimed she didn’t think her behaviors were unusual, but she was honored to get the compliments and admiration.
Williams admitted to the Houston Chronicle, “I didn’t know the photo was taken until a couple hours later.”
The eighteen-year-old said it was clear she should be assisting the elderly man.
“It’s just something I would do for anybody, when I saw it.”
Such tales give one a great sense of warmth. Evoni, more exceptional people like you are needed in the world.
It’s fantastic that this kind deed resulted in a scholarship. Kindly post this narrative on Facebook. It will encourage more people to give to charity in their daily lives.
They blocked off the road after realizing what this elephant was carrying with its trunk
Elephants are very special creatures. During years of extensive research and observation, scientists have discovered that elephants’ mourning pattern is very similar to that of humans.
Speaking to National Geographic, George Wittemyer, a Colorado State University conservation biologist who has studied elephants for a long time, said, “Elephants have respect for their dead, but their interaction with their dead is not something we fully understand.”
He added that these creatures act upon emotion when a member of their herd dies, which is truly fascinating and speaks of their emotional inteligence.
Twitter user Parveen Kaswan shared a video which proved yet again that elephants are able to mourn death. They not only bury the bodies but show respect to the bones later on.
The video shows a number of people and vehicles parked in the middle of the road. The reason why is that a herd of elephants is crossing the street.
What caught the attention of the bystanders was that one of the elephants was carrying something with its trunk. When they took a closer look, they realized that the animal was carrying a dead baby elephant.
The herd then stopped and placed the body of the dead calf on the ground as the rest of the group gathered around it.
“The family just don’t want to leave the baby,” Kaswan wrote in the caption and added that the sight resembled “funeral procession.”
As they continued their journey, another animal took the dead baby with its trunk.
To see the incredible moment go to the video below.
