The power of friendship between a gasoline station attendant named Tony who did not give out his last name and Vaughn Fish began two months ago when Vaughn’s mother Mandy Fish stopped by a gasoline station in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa to pump gasoline into her auto.
What happened next is an amazing story since Vaughn was under the weather when Tony earned his friendship with the young boy by making him feel better with his smiling and positive view of life that encouraged Vaughn to start a friendship with Tony that has been solid as a rock from the first time that they met.
When Vaughn found out that Tony needed a bicycle to travel from his workplace to his home. Vaughn valued his friendship with Tony so much that the money he was saving for a family gift he decided to purchase a bicycle for Tony as a way of telling him “Thank you” for cheering him up when he was down on their first meeting two months ago.
It is nice to see young children put aside their desires of buying gifts for themselves to purchase items that their best friend needs.
This child knew what was right to do, just like Tony did at the time.
That’s a beautiful friendship story. ?
It is rare to see friendship stories in nations where there is a lot of racial and political tension like South Africa.
I can imagine. There are political interests behind racial tensions, they will keep pushing the negative events and stories to increase conflict and start a civil war. I think the same will happen in Europe some day, they’re creating a distraction to make people forget the things that truly matter in this world. Fortunately, there are people like you who share positivity. ?
The reason politicians want war is to keep the economy going since I have seen some Three Stooges video shorts during World War II where the powers that be mention in the video that wars keep their business of keeping their subjects under their rule.
It is a great friendship story. We expect more like this from every human.
It is evident that Vaughn’s mother taught him to respect people who are kind to him regardless of their race.
Every child learns from his/her mother first. Respect to that mother who taught this kind of manner.
That is true since my late mom learned respect of people from her late mom and she passed it on to me and my other relatives.
That is so true since according to a You Tube speaker named Patricia I forget her last name, Blacks today pack heat and they will not tolerate anyone stepping on their toes anymore.
If we had more like him, the world wouldn’t be in the state it is in
That is so true since the young man became friends with a gasoline station attendant who was able to impress him that he is really a nice person to be friends with despite what the media reports about race relations being tense.
race relations there are tense, but some folks are willing to look past that. don’t think for a second those reports are exaggerated…
Thank you for telling me since I have to be careful saying offensive words in my neighborhood which is mostly Black and I am one of the few White Latinos in this area.
yeah, probably best to watch it when you’re outnumbered
We need to hear more stories like this in the media.
That is what I hoping that through this site, maybe the news media will change their policy of having of cramming bad news down our throats.
Look at you! Out finding good things to inspire us all. Well Done.
I just love to report the good news stories on this site.
