In the video, a man acts with kindness after realizing a young stranger had been looking at the game he was playing. More than 25 million YouTube users have seen the fantastic โ€œsharing is caringโ€ moment.

Kia Tatiyana Davis witnessed the heartwarming moment and filmed it too.

You donโ€™t get to see such a beautiful interaction between two unlikely strangers every day. The man and the boy managed to understand each other without words, and Davis said that โ€œshe was about to cryโ€ when it all unfolded in front of her eyes.

She later posted the video on her Facebook page, and people responded with hundreds of likes and comments.

Commuters usually keep to themselves while theyโ€™re on the subway, but one kid simply couldnโ€™t take eyes off of a strangerโ€™s phone screen.

The video is short, but its message is powerful. Youโ€™ll see a man sitting next to a little boy. The manโ€™s sporting his earphones, and heโ€™s busy doing something on his phone.

Judging by the amount of interest the boy displayed, we would say that the man is probably playing a video game. You can see that the boy is continuously looking at the strangerโ€™s phone. At first, the man didnโ€™t realize it, but soon, their eyes met.

A smile was all the boy needed.

There are probably some people who would have reacted differently, but the amount of kindness that the man has shown stunned us. He gave the boy a quick smile and showed him that he wasnโ€™t at all bothered by the kidโ€™s curiosity.

It looked like a beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Soon enough, the man decides to share his phone with the kiddo.

Surprisingly, the man unplugs his earphones and hands his phone to the boy. The little fellow couldnโ€™t believe it, but he accepted the offer and began to play the game.

We assume that the man is good with the kids. He either has his kids or maybe heโ€™s someoneโ€™s uncle or an educator. Whatever the case is, everyone around him must be proud for having such a noble young man in their lives. The childโ€™s joy is the biggest reward.

Just take a look at the kid playing on the phone. For a couple of minutes, that must have been the highlight of the boyโ€™s entire day. What a beautiful thing to do for someone? Arenโ€™t you glad that the lady filmed the whole event and posted it? We surely are.

Letโ€™s hope that the video will inspire more people to pause for a moment and share everything they donโ€™t need.

The boyโ€™s interest led to a friendly contact between the two, and look how easy and extraordinary it was. We have seen many fun stuff on the subway: from impromptu performances to stand-up comedy shows.
