Set B

Abu who is my classmate lives in Taman Permata.  He is well known for his kindness and he is also very helpful. Every morning, he cycles to school as his house is just a stone`s throw from there.

One day, Abu was cycling alone to school.  While he was cycling slowly, suddenly, he saw a lady driver by the roadside. She looked very tired and worried.  She was trying to change the flat tyre of her car but she could not do it by herself. Abu felt sorry for her so he decided to lend a hand.  Quickly, he cycled up to her.

When he reached the car, he approached the lady driver and offered his help.  She was glad that Abu wanted to help her.  Immediately, he took out the tools from the car boot and jacked up the car.  Then, he started to change the tyre.  After that, he took the spanner and tightened the nuts.

After a few minutes, the work was done.  Abu went to the boot and kept all the tools.  The lady was very happy and relieved.  She took out RM50.00 from her purse and gave it to him but Abu refused to accept the reward.  Then, he continued his journey to school. He was glad he had done a good deed.

Although Abu arrived late to school, he was glad that he has helped someone in need.  Its better late than never.  He thought to himself and told his teacher about it.  His teacher was very proud of him and praised him. He was as proud as a peacock. She did not punish him for being late.
