    At first, I thought the boy was a kind of meddler, who was seeking a human relationship with someone. Then I started to think he was a kind of an angel sent by the old man's wife in heaven. Joseph, the old man was at first grampy as the kid described, but then eventually he started to look for the small joy in life thanks to the small conversation led by the kid. This short film made me realize how important to break the ice between people through small talk. Thank you.
  • When the lady came back to the bench he no longer ignored her reading his newspaper. He realized no one is too old for love and began talking to her. Shows you're never to old to learn even from a child. Such an inspiring story.

    The innocence of a child has nothing but sheer clarity to it. The child brought back honey to the grandpa soul!

    While watching this, i was in my dorm room alone whilst others were chilling in the kitchen. I realised that I'm exactly like the old man, always keeping to myself just because that's the introvert stereotype or it's how God made me. After watching I left my room and joined my dorm mates, we ended up taking a walk together and shared great stories. These short-films are something else, what a beautiful message.

    Sometimes kids don’t get enough credit. They can teach us more than we think they can and witnessing it in this film was really beautiful❤
  • Sharing your own time with other ppl is a better way to forget someone.Thanks kid for giving me this scense
  • @ansh912
    You can get inspiration from anywhere and from anyone......even from younger ones. Truly a beautiful video.

    Sometimes you think you are a gumby boring person, everyone cannot talk with you. But you forget that just open your heart, the good thing will come. And your life, of course, is not bored. Thank for the short video, inspired me to get a good day ahead.
  • I don't know why but these kinda videos get me peace and i feel warmth in my heart

    After watching this instructive video. I understood two things. First, sincere dialogue could restore hope in despair and prevent human beings from some mental problems. Second, the possibility of learning doesn't depend on time or appearance.
  • This video is heartwarming and touching! The story of the old widower learning lessons of love from a persistent, lively child is both moving and inspiring. It beautifully shows how connections can form in the most unexpected ways and reminds us of the power of kindness and understanding. Thank you for sharing this lovely story! ❤

    No matter how old we get , we still can learn how to be more wiser , enjoy our life , make new realationships .. even from a child !
  • @killer-ic2pw
    great ending, no matter how old we get, we can still learn to be a little more wiser
  • I think older people must tolk youth. Young people help seniors have a fresh outlook on life. It is good idea when children or teens can be volonteer and attend seniors in nursing home or spend time with their grandparents. Seniors share their wisdom and youth reminds of how simple life is.
  • -"There is always time". It was my favorite part in this short video because I thought in my life. -¡Thank to join us! .
