As the crowded bus suddenly jerked to a halt, a compassionate young boy named Alex noticed an elderly woman struggling to maintain her balance. Filled with empathy, he promptly rose from his seat and offered it to her, a radiant smile illuminating his face. Just as the grateful old lady settled into his place, she reached into her bag and retrieved a small envelope. With eyes gleaming with gratitude, she looked at Alex and softly whispered, “Open it when you arrive home, my dear.”
The Envelope
Alex was staring intently at the closed, brown envelope on his old, wooden table. The edges were slightly frayed, indicating its journey from an unidentified sender to his home. He couldn’t help but feel a mixture of surprise and curiosity, knowing that he had successfully resisted the temptation to open it until he got home. The whole situation with the mysterious lady continued to plague his thoughts, adding an unusual touch of intrigue to his otherwise ordinary day. His mind was flooded with unanswered questions, and he yearned for the truth to unravel the enigma that had consumed his every waking moment.
