16 People Who Became Heroes With Their Acts Of Kindness

14: Bought a trolley-load of groceries for a mum of a large family that I don’t personally know but who I knew were incredibly hard up and who had just had to adopt her sister’s kids, and had it delivered for them anonymously.

15: When I was a child, I saw a street cat catch a pigeon on my way to school. It was floundering, but the cat grabbed it even harder and carried it somewhere. I didn’t know what to do, but I really wanted to save the bird. I ran up and literally opened the cat’s mouth with my hands.

The pigeon flew away. When I looked more closely at the cat, I saw that he was all wounded and very thin. I couldn’t leave him like this. I didn’t go to school that day because I took the cat to our house.

My mom is the kindest woman in the world, so she understood me and even praised me. We fed the cat, bathed him, treated his wounds. And we named him Tishka. Tishka has been living with us for 12 years now.

16: My father brought us up in strictness. 3 sons — 3 “rocks.” And tears for girls. Recently, our sister got married. She and her fiancé had a simply adorable, touching ceremony.

I let out a tear, and I look round, and my 2 brothers are crying too. And it was so funny. “The 3 rocks” were so happy for their little sister that they couldn’t help themselves. I started to look round to make sure our father couldn’t see us. And he’s standing in the far corner of the hall, crying.

Our mother is wiping his face with her handkerchiefs and stroking his back, but it doesn’t help. My brothers and I went up to him and hugged him. Of course, upbringing is a good thing, but family is more important.
