Children are most definitely the purest human beings living on the planet. They are not conditioned by superficial social norms and have a very simple way of thinking - something that we as adults forget. For kids, if an action has caused a negative outcome, they simply apologize or more often than not own up to the mistake.

Case in point, this little boy from Mizoram accidentally ran over his neighbour chicken. The guilt-ridden boy took whatever money he had and rushed to a nearby hospital.

The picture shared by a Facebook user immediately went viral with more than 50,000 shares. The boy's expression will literally melt your heart.

If only grown-ups were half as sincere and honest as this little boy, the world would be a much better place to live in.

Here's how people reacted to the boy's kind gesture:

Someone also pointed out that even a boy this little knows that everything works with money and it just goes to show how corrupt our society is.
