It happens sometimes that people surprise us. In a big city, it can be difficult to notice the small gestures that, besides being entertaining, also manage to warm the heart for being spontaneous and genuine.

Surely the man in the video did not expect that his subway ride would turn into a video that has gone viral! Even less did he expect that the person to make such a thing happen would be a child sitting next to him, curiously peeking at his smartphone.

See what happened on the subway in New York.

A man whose identity is unknown was playing a game on his smartphone while on the subway when he felt he was being observed by someone else. 

Then, he realized that the little boy sitting beside him had his eyes glued to his smartphone. The child's attention had been captured by the game, which had probably absorbed his attention far more than the man himself.

At first, the man continued to play almost ignoring the child's curiosity. But then, seeing that the little boy was really attracted to the game, he disconnected his earphones and handed the smartphone to the child.  

The little boy, with incredulous eyes, did not think twice about grabbing the smartphone and continuing the game. The man looked around with an air of someone who has no idea of having done something really nice and especially of someone who has no idea that they are being filmed by another passenger on the subway, who then posted the video on social networks. 

The video has been seen around the world and the gesture of the man, the naturalness with which he passed the smartphone to the child, has not gone unnoticed. Indeed, his kind and spontaneous act has touched the hearts of all the people who have seen the video!
