At the age of 6,?Derek C Lalchhanhima, from Mizoram, made headlines for his simple act of honesty and compassion.?
His story of taking an injured chicken to a hospital with all the money he had, touched a chord with people on the Internet and it didn't take too long for him to become a sensation.?
Now, Derek?has been rewarded by his school for his kind gesture. Here's him holding a 'Word of Appreciation' certificate with a beaming smile.?
Sanga Says - who share the first post with a heart-melting picture of Dereck - told NDTV that, "He did not understand that the chick is dead and begged his parents to take it to the hospital."
When they refused, Dereck took the initiative, carried Rs 10 and marched straight into the hospital with the chicken in his hand.
At the hospital, a nurse, couldn't stop gushing over the boy's innocence and snapped a picture which will never be forgotten!?
Good job little Dereck, you are a true?hero!?
