Task Ten: Walk an old person across the road

There I was, ten past seven in the am, waiting to cross the road when a cute little old man shuffled up next to me. Normally I'd be striding across before the WALK sign like the rebel that I am, but today was different. I said good morning to Grandpa and asked if he'd accompany me across the road.
Why certainly, was the old mans reply.
And as we shuffled across the road together, he talked about how cold it was this morning, and how he hadn't had his cup of tea yet.

We arrived at the other side of the road, and after a quick thank you I was on my way with an amazing sense of satisfaction. But when I looked back, the little old man still standing there, ready to cross the road again.

Sigh.

Task Ten. Walk an old person across the road. DONE.
