Ans.>
Dear Rohan, Date:12.3.2021
How are you ? I hope, you are well. I am fine. Today, I am writing this letter to share my experience of a proud moment. It was happened in a bus when I was returning from school in a bus yesterday. I hardly get a seat in the rush hours, but I got one that day. The bus was very much crowded. Suddenly, I saw an ailing old lady. She was standing helplessly. She seemed very weak. This scene touched my heart. At once I took a decision. I stood up and offered my seat to her. The woman sat on the seat comfortably. The old lady smiled as if she was blessing me. I found myself full of compassion and generosity. I felt very glad to help her. The incident created an everlasting impact on my mind. I realised that I have a helpful person inside me. I am waiting for your letter.
Yours ever,
Kanchan
