Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.

I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies of Manzil. After distributing (分发) the copies, I would rush home—another 3 kilometers—quickly eat and be off to high school.

One winter morning in 1945, I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.

I was greeted at the door by Afzal’s mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal’s father, Mr. Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.

Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr. Kader asked me to wait. Naseem asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day?”

“A little more than six,” I replied.

My reply shocked her. I saw Mr. Kader wheeling a new bicycle.

“This is for you!” he said.

It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. I didn’t realize tears were rolling down my face.

Mr. Kader said, “Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address, so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you.”

I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.

The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.
