**Be Helpful to Others**
Once upon a time there was a young girl who wished to see the world. She wanted to observe new things. She told her mother about her wish. Her mother promised that they would go to a hill station. Next Sunday, they set out on their journey. On their way, they crossed many areas of terrace-farming, rivers and enjoyed the natural beauty. The young girl, whose name was Neha, was very excited. She was watching everything out of the window of her car with great curiosity. Suddenly, the car stopped with a jerk. The driver got out of the car to check why a crowd had gathered there. After some time, he came back and told them that due to a landslide, they could not go any further. Neha became sad. All her excitement vanished. She looked out and noticed that there was a great hustle and bustle outside. People were running helter-skelter. Soon there was a long queue of vehicles. People were trying to contact the authorities or their relatives for help on phone. ** were crying for food and water. Then she noticed that the people who had eatables with them were sharing them with others. They were helping each other. She was amazed at this. She attracted her mother’ attention towards her who told her that it is a good thing to help each other and that one must do it. Neha checked her bag and found some chocolates which she had carried with her to eat during the journey. She came out of the car and distributed them to the little **. The ** were very happy. Soon it started getting colder. But by then, authorities had started clearing the way for the vehicles to pass. After an hour of work, the road was cleared and the vehicles started moving at a snail’ pace. Neha was happy. Today’* experience had made her observe that helping others is the best way to be happy.
