My
young daughter and I were flying to Miami for holiday. The plane was totally 36
. We couldn’t get seats together and were
separated by the aisle. I asked two men if they would like to change 37
with us, so that we could be together. They 38 .
At
the same time, a mother 39 three children also
had the same problem as us. The mother 40 her
baby, but her young son and his older brother were separated from her. She was
very concerned about the boys sitting with 41 . She was very
worried, but 42 helped her. Suddenly a man said, “I think we can help you.”
Then he and his group managed to make enough space for the 43
.
My
young daughter, however, 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 45 .
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.
