I just want to share what happened to me last year month of May, I was Eighth month pregnant that time.
I am with my husband in Manila, we went out to look for a Halal restaurant for lunch. I already feel dizzy while walking but I just ignore.
While in front of convenient store, I am using my phone to locate the restaurant, but suddenly my vision gets blurred. I don't know what happened till I opened my eyes, I saw the man on my left assisting me, shaking me and talking to me... asking me "Ma'am what happened!? Are you okay?" I was shocked when I saw him till I saw my husband at my right talking to me, asking me "Honey, what happened!? Are you alright?"
My husband said that he thought I want to cross the road because I walked across the road, he followed me, but too late because I fell down on the ground in the middle of the road. We can say that we are lucky that a guy who came out from convenient store was also about to cross the road and he lifted me up together with my husband.
The guy stopped all the vehicles coming because might hit me, then he looked a taxi for a ride. Then he called a taxi and helped my husband in assisting me. He goes with us till the hospital.
I was brought to the nearest hospital, they said that I was unconscious for almost two minutes. My head also hit the ground and I got bruises on my legs and arms. When we reached the hospital, we thank him so much for helping us, my husband thank him and gave him Two Thousand Pesos. The guy did not ask anything in return for the helped he did, but my husband insists.

When we got home, I asked him how much he gave him to the man who helped us, he said that he gave Two Thousand Pesos. I told him that wasn't too much? That Five Hundred or One Thousand is enough, but Two Thousand is too much, I was ashamed for what I said when my husband told me the reason why he gave that much.
This is what my husband told me that really touched my heart:
"I gave that money because I don't see it as a payment for his helped, what he did doesn't value any amount of money. What if he doesn't help us, you might be hit by a car because no other come to help. If he doesn't help us, who will assist me in carrying you? "
"Many people around us, people inside convenient store are just a busy body looking what happened, but nobody bothers to ask or come for help. Many people crossed the road and many cars passed by but nobody cares to help."
"Many people around us that time who looks richer, decent, and educated, but by heart they are more rubbish. But there is one guy just passed by which looks bad guy, uneducated and beggar, but he is the one and only who come and helped us."
"Before he help us , he doesn't know if we are rich, he doesn't ask if we have money to pay for his help... He helped us with all his heart. And maybe God sent him to help us and maybe God also brought us to him to help him also in another way, that maybe he is also in need of money for something."
I was very touched in what my husband said. We should not judge people by their cover, sometimes beggar has a big heart than richer.
The man is a blessing in disguise!
I remembered what ma'am said in her post, "A Minnow but a Whale in heart!"
Even we are minnows, we can help each others to grow even we are just a small fish under the deep ocean.
I would like to thank for mentoring me and for his patience.
I am very blessed and thankful to have him as my mentor.
Thanks and more power to Steemit Diversify Team!
