She was very concerned about the boys sitting with 6 . She was very worried, 7 nobody helped her. Suddenly a man said, “I think we can help you.” Then he and h is group managed to make enough space for the 8 . My young daughter, 9 , was afraid of not being next to a window or her mom. I told her I couldn’t do anything; we had to sit 44 we were. Amazingly, the man sitting next to me turned to me and said he really liked the seat near the aisle, so we changed seats and continued our trip 10 . Would that man give us his seat if the others hadn’t done so for the mom and her children? I don’t know. Perhaps kindness is contagious.
