00:00In a bustling city, I once knew a quiet old man who tended a small community garden.
00:05Everyone called him Gentle Mr. Harrison.
00:08He'd share his vegetables and always had a kind word.
00:11Kids loved him, parents trusted him.
00:14Next to his plot was a patch of wilted, neglected plants.
00:18The owner, a grumpy-looking young man, rarely showed up.
00:22We all judged him, whispering about his carelessness.
00:24One day I saw the young man there, tears in his eyes, tending to the sad-looking plants.
00:30He told me they were his late mothers.
00:32He was a doctor, working long hours and could only visit when he could.
00:37He then pointed to Mr. Harrison's perfect garden and said,
00:40He's a good man. He waters my mother's plants for me when I can't.
00:44It turns out, the one who looked careless was carrying a heavy burden.
00:49And the one we thought was just innocent was quietly carrying another's too.
00:53It taught me true character isn't what you see on the surface.
00:58Thanks for watching.
