He stepped out of the office at the end of the day to find it pouring rain. Realizing he had forgotten his umbrella, he sighed and prepared to make a run for it. Just as he was about to dash into the rain, a man standing nearby noticed his dilemma and offered to share his umbrella.

At first, he hesitated, not wanting to inconvenience the stranger, but the man insisted with a friendly smile. They walked together to the bus stop, chatting about the unexpected weather and how often it seems to catch people off guard.

By the time they reached the stop, the rain had started to let up. He thanked the man for his kindness, feeling grateful that a small gesture had turned what could have been a miserable walk into a pleasant, unexpected connection.
