An Astounding character you have come across

“An astounding character you have come across” in this topic I am going to narrate an incident that happened when I was studying in 7th standard. My father was working in Sri Lanka. During the half yearly vacation we planned to visit Sri Lanka. Myself, sister and my mom where very much excited as that was our first experience to travel in a flight. In the airport I saw a very old man who looked old in his appearance but all his actions were like a teenage boy. He not only took care of his own self but also helped other people who were travelling for the first time. I was eagerly waiting to talk to him. He told me that he too was coming to the same place where I was going – Luckily he lived in the opposite house where I was living. Everyday morning he would get up at 5.am and water all his plants. He would clean the garden. He would keep his house very clean. In the evenings he would go for a walk I have never seen a person who never bothered about his old age and led a happy life. I wish I would live like him. I realized after all, life is very beautiful.
