Mizoram: A Facebook post in which a 6-year-old boy who rushed the hurt chicken to the nearest hospital with all the pocket money he had saved after he accidentally ran over his neighbour’s chicken with his bicycle has gone viral on a social media platform.

Reportedly, the photo of Derek C Lalchhanhima from Sairang, Mizoram was shared on Facebook by a user named Sanga Says along with the caption explaining the incident.

The post reads: “This young boy from Sairang, Mizoram, accidentally ran over his neighbour’s chicken with his cycle. He took the chicken, ran to the nearest hospital and with all the money he had, asked for help. (I’m laughing and crying all at the same time)”.

Derek C Lalchhanhima father, Dhiraj Chhetri said “Derek came home with the neighbour’s chick that he had accidentally killed. He does not understand that the chick is dead and begged us to take the chick to the hospital. I told him to go himself, which he did with ten rupees.”

“Later he came back sobbing, saying that they didn’t help the chick but only took his picture with the chick and his money. He vowed to go back carrying a 100 rupees. His parents finally had to explain to him that the chick is dead and that there’s nothing they can do at the hospital,” he added.

However, Derek’s act of kindness has won many hearts on Facebook.
