He Hears Some Teenagers Laughing In A Restaurant Restroom. When He Arrives, Old Man Is Crying
We’re all going to be old sooner or later. And when that day comes, surely we’re all going to want to be treated with respect and care. But in the meantime, I suppose it’s important to look out for our elders and make sure they’re well taken care of. After all, we couldn’t be where we are today without them!
A guy named Marcus really understands this and he recently shared a story on Facebook. He heard a teenager making fun of an elderly man at a restaurant and couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. He realized that he needed to act immediately. And it’s a good thing he did!
Accordingly, while Marcus was eating lunch at his favorite restaurant, he was interrupted by a nearby teenager. The kid was laughing about a situation in the bathroom that he had just seen. But it was no laughing matter, and Marcus went to find out what was going on.
Inside the bathroom, he saw an elderly man who was crying inside one of the stalls. He was stuck on the toilet and couldn’t get up. Without hesitation, Marcus went to the stall and asked the man if everything was OK. The man responded that he wasn’t strong enough to get up on his own, because he didn’t have his cane with him.
Marcus asked the elderly man to unlock the door. After that, Marcus helped him get up on his feet, pull up his trousers, and buckle his belt. Though the old man was embarrassed and fought back tears, he still managed to give Marcus a long, warm hug.
Marcus and the old man shook hands, and then Marcus went straight to the teen and told him that he had to apologize to the man. The world needs more role models like Marcus—someone who cares about himself and can put himself someone else’s shoes, even though it will be decades before he needs help standing up. Marcus did the right thing for the elderly man and also taught the teenager an important lesson.
