Do you know the value of kindness? Some people can live such harsh lives that they may not be aware of how important this is in the world, or they may not have experienced enough of it in their lives.
Here’s a story on how one man discovered the truth of that value.

Nicole Graham thought she was going for another one of her regular leisurely horse rides along the beach. With her daughter in tow, Nicole suddenly found herself in the midst of a nightmare. Her horse Astro unexpectedly ventured into treacherous mud, and to make matters worse, he was followed by her daughter’s horse.
Fortunately, Nicole got herself, her daughter, and her daughter’s smaller horse free, but Astro remained firmly stuck in the mud.
Nicole runs an equine dentistry business, and as such has a deep love of horses — she personally owns around 10. In the two decades she’s been a horse owner, she’s never had such any issues on the beach. We are just relieved that everyone is safe.
Justin Lebon knew he wanted to marry girlfriend Michal Ott years ago. But he wanted it to be special, and so, last Christmas, he made his move — literally.
Double the rescue, double the joy — that was the case for two dogs named Oscar and Emmy, who the Chicago Police Department found in an abandoned building back in July.
Oscar and Emmy were dangerously underweight and in need of emergency medical care, so the police called in a local rescue group, Trio Animal Foundation, to help.
An adorable toddler who has Down’s Syndrome is set to become Britain’s next top child model after being snapped up by a casting agency.
Connie-Rose Seabourne, from Morley, near Leeds, attracted the attention of three scouts after her mother Julie Britton, 42, sent them photographs of her. Now the 23-month-old has bagged two campaigns.
For proud Julie it is a sign that her daughter’s disability ‘does not define who she is’.
She has Down’s Syndrome, it’s not that she is Down’s Syndrome. That’s the major problem we face but that’s about education.’
Julie now visits other parents whose children have Down’s Syndrome on local hospital wards to try to help families that at first feel overwhelmed with the diagnosis.
She said: ‘Some parents struggle with the idea of Down’s Syndrome initially and think that life isn’t going to be the same again. I try to explain just how much support there is out there for them.
‘The inclusiveness and equality that my family has experienced has been amazing. It’s absolutely fantastic that Connie-Rose will be in the public eye – it’s just so positive.’
It’s not just us humans that are addicted to mobile phones.
Some of our closest living relatives are as obsessed with modern technology as we are, as this gorilla showed when it became engrossed in an iPhone.
The clip, which emerged on YouTube, features a man sitting on the other side of the safety glass from a gorilla named Jelani at Louisville Zoo in Kentucky.
The man holds his phone up against the window and scrolls through photographs while the enormous ape watches attentively.
Humorously it bends its head slightly to focus on the phone and then once it has seen the image it looks away and waits for the next picture.
At that moment the video maker asks the man what he is showing the gorilla and he presents his phone, which shows a human posing with an ape, to the camera.
The man then returns to showing the gorilla, who returns to staring at the phone in interest.

Later the gorilla leaned up against the glass and rather adorably appeared to read over the man’s shoulder
He continues to show the ape a few more images and on every occasion it stares down at the screen of the phone, despite a number of other distracting things happening in front of it.
Later the man leans up against the wall alongside the glass and rather adorably the gorilla does the same from the other side.
The ape almost reads over his shoulder as the man scrolls through even more pictures, occasionally tilting the phone so the gorilla can have a better look.

The video maker later said: ‘I stumbled upon the boy sharing pictures with Jelani touring the zoo with my one-year-old daughter.
‘The boy was scrolling through gorilla pictures, and Jelani would motion with his hand to move to the next photo. Both seemed to really enjoy sharing the experience.’
Since appearing online the video has been viewed almost 100,000 times.
