In Bagan, Myanmar, we hired a scooter to get around the temples in Bagan. On our way back we took a ‘shortcut’ that got us lost. To make matters worse we hit a rock on the road. After hearing a loud bang, we pulled over and the back tire was completely flat.
We had no idea what to do. Luckily a boy cycled up to us stopping to put his hands on his head and let out an “oh!” He was about 4 and didn’t speak English but still wanted to help.
He used hand gestures asking us to follow him up a hill to his house where he explained our problem to his dad. His dad then repaired our puncture and directed us back to the main road. We are so grateful for meeting such a kind boy and his dad. We wish they receive the same luck and kindness in their lives.
