A nine-year-old boy showed that age is not a factor when it comes to kindness after he helped a homeless boy on a street in Malaysia by taking off his own socks and shoes and giving them to him.
Cheikh Faizal is a regular schoolboy who was walking with his father, Sofian, past the Bukit Bintang station in Kuala Lumpur, an area where many homeless people gather, when he noticed a boy who looked about his own age.
He felt bad for the barefoot boy and wanted to do something for him. So he removed his own shoes and socks and put them on the cracked and dirty feet of the boy, then walked home barefoot himself. The entire incident was filmed by his dad, Sofian, a travel agent.
He said: “My son saw the young boy without shoes and made the decision himself that he wanted to help him. He showed his love for everyone there, even though they are homeless. He then went home without his shoes.”
He added, “Hopefully everybody in the world will see this positive message and we can make life better for every human being. There are many homeless people but if everybody makes a small gesture of kindness we can improve their lives.”
