This is so bizzare - had a real-life experience today which exactly coincides with this topic.
We did our weekly marketing late this morning, and - per usual - we walked across the road for coffee and a bun before heading home. I was looking out the window of the café and saw an elderly woman putting her groceries in the boot when one of the bags broke, spilling stuff all over the ground. The old dear had to kneel on the ground to pick up her things. Ellen and I were heading out of the café to help her when two boys (probably 12, 13 years old) walked up, helped her to her feet and retrieved her things. The woman opened her purse as if she were going to pay the kids. They refused, smiled and waved, then trotted off.
Oh, forgot to mention - before the kids showed up to help her, three adults walked right past an old lady kneeling on the ground without so much as a glance.
