Once upon a time, there was a trader named [John](JCD7PRQH). He had dark curly hair and wore a simple, sturdy outfit perfect for long travels. [John](JCD7PRQH) was on his way to the market on his faithful donkey, ready to buy new wares. The sun shone brightly overhead, and the dusty path stretched far ahead.

As he traveled further down the lonely road, a group of robbers suddenly jumped out from behind some trees. They shouted angrily and surrounded [John](JCD7PRQH). The robbers stole all his money, tore his clothes, and left him lying hurt on the ground, while his loyal donkey stayed beside him, unsure of what to do.

After the robbers had left, the road went quiet again. Soon, two priests walked by. They wore long robes and held scrolls in their hands. But when they saw [John](JCD7PRQH) lying there, they walked quickly to the other side of the path and pretended not to see him. [John](JCD7PRQH) felt even sadder.

The road became silent once again. After some time, a young man came walking by. He was a stranger, wearing simple clothes, with kind eyes and a curious face. When he saw [John](JCD7PRQH), he stopped. He couldn’t just walk past someone who needed help.

The stranger knelt beside [John](JCD7PRQH) and gently gave him some water to drink from his flask. He carefully cleaned [John](JCD7PRQH)’s wounds and helped him sit up. [John](JCD7PRQH) felt grateful and smiled weakly at the stranger.

After helping [John](JCD7PRQH) drink some water, the kind stranger said, ‘Let me help you get to safety.’ He slowly lifted [John](JCD7PRQH) onto his donkey, making sure [John](JCD7PRQH) was comfortable and steady. The donkey brayed softly, ready for the journey ahead.

The kind stranger walked slowly beside the donkey, making sure [John](JCD7PRQH) was safe. After a long walk, they finally reached a nearby inn, a small building with a wooden roof and flowers along the windows.

At the inn, the kind stranger spoke to the innkeeper, a cheerful man with a big white beard. ‘Please take care of this man,’ the stranger said. ‘Give him food, clean his wounds, and let him rest in a cozy room. I will pay for everything!’

The innkeeper nodded and guided [John](JCD7PRQH) to a comfortable room while the stranger left quietly, not even waiting for a thank you. [John](JCD7PRQH) felt deep gratitude in his heart and decided he would always remember the kindness of this stranger.

This story teaches us to always show kindness and compassion, even to people we don’t know. Just like the kind stranger, we can make the world a better place, one good deed at a time.
