Oriyomi works at a meat distribution factory.

One day, when he finished with his work schedule, he went into the meat coldroom (Freezer) to inspect something, but in a moment of badluck, the door closed and he was locked inside with no help in sight.

Although he screamed and knocked with all his might, his cries went unheard as no one could hear him.

Most of the workers had already gone and outside the coldroom, it's impossible to hear what was going on inside.

Five hours later, whilst Oriyomi was on the verge of death the security guard of the factory unexpectedly opened the door and saved Oriyomi.

Later on, Oriyomi asked the security guard what made him to open the door, as it wasn't part of his work routine.

His explanation: "I've been working in this factory for 35 years, hundreds of workers come in and out everyday, but you're one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me every night when leaving after working hours.

Many treat me as if I am invisible.

Today, like every other day, you greeted me in your simple manner 'Hello' at the entrance when resuming for work...

But curiously, after working hours today, I observed I've not heard your 'bye, see you tomorrow'.

Hence I decided to check around the factory.

I look forward to your 'Hi' and 'bye' everyday.

To you, I am someone.

By not hearing your farewell, I knew something had happened.

Then I sought and found you!"

Oriyomi was dumbfounded!

End of Story.

"Moral Lesson to reflect upon".

Be humble, love and respect those around you.

Our little act of care can mean a lot.

The only thing many people want in us is that little effort of caring, not our riches!

Life is too short!

A minute can have an impact on people in ways we can't even imagine, especially the everyday people in our lives.

So, I say, let the teaching warm all hearts!
