Teen Boy Assists Blind Old Woman in Crossing the Road and Receives Inheritance from Her Later – Story of the Day

Simon was a selfish teenager who wouldn’t help anyone if there was no benefit for him. That’s how he met a blind older woman on the road. He helped her once, but he ignored her when they met again until she saved his life. Afterward, she shockingly rewarded him.

“Young man, can you please help me cross the road?” Simon heard an older woman say. He looked up from his phone for a second and thought about ignoring her. But he noticed she had a walking stick, and upon seeing her eyes, he knew instantly she was blind and needed assistance. He usually wouldn’t do it at all, but this was different.

“I’ll give you a surprise when we cross the road,” the older woman continued, and Simon’s eyebrows went up.

“Alright. Let’s go,” he replied, wondering if the woman was going to give him some cash. He craved some burgers, and a crisp 20-dollar bill could come in handy right about now. Maybe it would be more money. So he offered his arm, and the woman grabbed it. It was slow, but they finally reached the other side.

“Ok, here we are,” he said excitedly, waiting for whatever surprise she offered. The older woman reached into her purse and rummaged around for a second. Finally, she produced a chocolate bar and gave it to Simon.

“There you go, young man. It’s my favorite chocolate. I hope you like it too,” the woman said, offering the treat. Simon couldn’t hide his disappointment, but he didn’t care because the woman couldn’t see his expression.

“Ugh… yeah, ok. Whatever,” he muttered, took the candy bar, and walked away from her. What a waste of time. I’m never doing that again, he thought as he went down the street.

Simon was 15 years old and never had time for anyone but himself. He didn’t help his parents at their convenience store, and he didn’t care about much in life. The future of the world seemed too bleak to plan anything. He had no ambitions, and therefore, no goals. So he just tried to mind his own business and hoped others wouldn’t bother him. He knew that helping others was not his calling and would never bother to help the older woman if he ever saw her again.

Unlike most days for the jaded teenager, Simon was excited for today. His mother had promised to make him pot roast for dinner, which was his favorite food in the world. Usually, she didn’t have time because of the store, but she offered to cook some today for some reason. Finally! A reason...
