Yesterday，I saw the old lady fall down when I was hurrying to school．I was about to help her up while suddenly a passer-by stop me，saying that I might be accused of knocking him down．Heard his words，I began to hesitate and slowed down my step．At the same time，another student，who saw everything，went up to help．The old lady said nothing but lots of thanks to the good boy．I felt ashamed．As is know to all，helping others are forever a good virtue．Even some old people are becoming immoral（不道德的），we can't let it to disappear．
