He was spending a quiet afternoon at the library, searching for a specific book he needed for a project. After scanning the shelves for a while, he finally found the book—only to realize it was the last copy and someone had placed their belongings on top of it.

He looked around and saw a man nearby, deep in a conversation with the librarian. He hesitated for a moment but decided to wait until the man was done. When the man returned, he politely asked if he could take the book.

The man apologized for taking up the space and gladly handed over the book. They exchanged a few words about their projects, and he left the library not only with the book he needed but with a sense of camaraderie, knowing that even small interactions can lead to unexpected connections.
