Traveller shares story of kind, patient couple who played with unaccompanied minor during a flight

Traveller captures the heartwarming moment ‘kind and patient’ couple take care of unaccompanied child on flight: ‘There is good in this world’

  • Couple play and chat with lone child on flight
  • The sweet story was shared online touching many 

A traveller has warmed the hearts of thousands after he shared a sweet story of passengers taking care of an unaccompanied minor they were sat next to. 

The flyer, Josh, said a couple were happy to play and chat with the young child who had ‘boundless energy’ throughout the duration of the one hour forty minute-long flight.

The girl requested her seatmates paint with her which they happily obliged before she started plastering the man with stickers to which he was again unperturbed.

In a resurfaced tweet, Josh said the act was a reminder there ‘was more good than bad in the world’ and many online agreed. 

Josh explained he was going from Indianapolis to Baltimore in the US on a flight with open seating. 

A traveller shared an ‘touching’ story of a ‘kind and patient’ couple who played and painted with an unaccompanied minor on a flight leaving thousands ‘uplifted’

‘Anyone could have sat next to her, in fact many people avoided her and her boundless energy during boarding,’ he wrote. 

‘But finally, the couple you see in the photo occupied the two seats to her right.’

Josh said the pair would have realised they would not be having a ‘relaxing flight’ as the girl started chatting ‘within minutes’ but seemed unconcerned and ‘just rolled with it’. 

‘As drinks were being served, the couple didn’t even get a chance to voice their requests because they were cut off by the young girl stating, ‘I’ll take water with a straw and so will they so we can paint!’,’ Josh said. 

‘And they just rolled with it. Within minutes the young girl had brought out her Hello Kitty paint sheets and the couple spent the next hour following her instructions.’

She then started putting Marvel stickers on the man’s ears, beard, arms and all over his body but he remained kind and unbothered. 

‘Moral of the story: There is good in this world. In fact, there is more good than bad in this world if we just open our eyes to it. There isn’t a script or instruction manual for love. You just have to roll with it,’ Josh said. 

The ‘touching reminder’ initially went viral back in 2021 but was recently reposted and quickly racked up thousands of reactions. 

One person said they were ‘utterly uplifted’ by the tale and another said the man and woman were ‘really patient and kind’. 

‘More people need to learn patience like this. Kindness costs zero dollars’ one user replied and another said: ‘Stories like this give me hope’.

‘This is a lovely story and a good reminder, that yes, good is all around us, focus on it and let it grow,’ a third added.  

‘It’s great that they were so kind. We need more of that in the world,’ wrote a fourth.
