“善行无论多么微小，都不会白费。” — 伊索

In a crowded train station, a young woman named Anna hurried to catch her train.

As she rushed past, she accidentally knocked over an old man’s suitcase, scattering his belongings across the floor.

Instead of ignoring the situation, she stopped, apologized, and helped him gather his things.

The old man, grateful for her kindness, smiled warmly and thanked her.

Anna thought nothing of it, but that simple act of kindness set off a chain reaction.

安娜对此并未多想，但这看似简单的善举却引发了一连串的连锁反应。

Later that day, the old man, in a better mood, treated a homeless man to a warm meal.

The homeless man, feeling valued for the first time in months, decided to apply for a job the next morning.

Days later, Anna, unaware of the ripple effect she had set in motion, received an unexpected act of kindness from a stranger when she lost her wallet.

几天后，安娜在毫不知情的情况下，因丢失钱包而得到了一个陌生人的善举。

Kindness, like an echo, had come full circle.
