During his run he would pass by a pond. Somedays, he used to see an old lady, cleaning back of small turtles living at that pond.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Boy saw her many times and started wondering what could be the reason. So, one day, boy went to old lady, greeted her and said,<strong> \u201cMam, I saw you many times cleaning back of turtles. Why do you do this?\u201d\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Old woman looked at boy and said, <strong>\u201cSon, I come here every Sunday.

It would a big thing for this one. Just thinking this gives me happiness and peace. I can\u2019t change the world but I have changed someone\u2019s world.\u201d\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'><strong>Learning:<br>\n<span style='\"font-size:'>It is possible that your small step may not bring big change in the world but it is definitely possible that someone\u2019s life may change.
