Seema got on the train with her 5-year-old daughter， Sally. It was her first travel by train. Seema held Sallys hands， because she was afraid that the crowd could pull her away.

When the train moved， a snack seller in old clothes came through the crowd with his bag. He was trying to sell snacks to passengers. Passing by Seema， he showed a bag of snacks， “Only 10 cents.” Sally said， “Buy one for me， mom.” Seema looked at him with anger， “Go away.” The seller left. Sally waved bye to him and this brought smile to him.

After some time when the train reached another station， Sally saw that seller sitting by the door. She smiled， “Can we give him some money？ He seems hungry.” Seema refused， “Dont talk to him. He isnt a good person. These people take away little girls in their bags.”

Seema and Sally got off the train and they heard a voice calling them. When she turned back， she saw that seller waving his hands and walked toward them. Seema started running faster with Sally and stopped a taxi. Just then the seller reached， and showed something shiny. Seema saw it was Sallys bracelet.

“Your daughter gave it to me before getting off.” He gave a bag of snacks to Sally， “Its for her.”

Before she could say something， the seller left and the taxi moved. Seema realized her mistake and learned a lesson during this train journey. She was happy to know Sally had a good heart. She learned we shouldnt judge someone freely just because of their look or what they do.
