I just got home from an outing with Mummy (she's leaving for the States tonight for a couple of weeks and I took a break from my studying to spend some time with her before she goes) and as we were driving up one of the busy roads, there right in the middle, on the separation line was a kitten, couldn't of been more than a month and a half or two completely frozen.
I told Mummy to stop the car. Stop the Car!!!! And she said she didn't want me to get run over, I said I have to get that cat.
It was so tiny and my heart was just breaking seeing it.
She stopped on the curb and I ran out, thankfully there was only one car coming my way and the driver had also seen the kitten and drove to the curb when it saw me approach.
A human was all it took to get that kitten running back the pavement and under a parking car - I tried picking it up, but it dashed into the bushes.
The driver of the other car asked me: "Is it all right?"
I replied: "Yeah, it's out of danger"
She smiled at me, waved and drove off.
I went back to Mummy and practically burst into tears, she said she would have stabbed herself if she's have run over that kitten.
She said I was a good person for going into the road and getting that cat out of the way.
I have to ask:
Is what I did so extraordinary?
Wouldn't a better person actually pick up that kitten and take it home?
Wouldn't the average Jane/Joe do what they can to NOT kill another living being?
Why is doing something so small like that worthy of a smile from a total stranger?
