Imagine a scenario in a neighborhood where an elderly man falls while trying to cross the street. A young girl, who is usually shy and keeps to herself, immediately runs over. She helps the man up, calls his family, and stays with him until they come. In the modern world, with everyone so busy, she could have just ignored him. But like the Good Samaritan, she chose to be kind and helpful.
A modern day Good Samaritan story could be about a person seeing a homeless individual on the street being harassed by some teenagers. Instead of walking away, this modern - day Samaritan steps in, scares off the bullies, and then takes the homeless person to a nearby shelter, providing food and some warm clothes.
