“An uncle gave his RM20 voucher to this young lady because he saw her carrying a Steinbeck book to be purchased, and said that he’s a huge fan of the author and that he appreciates new fans of his work,” the post read.

The gesture not only helped the young reader but also created a heartwarming reminder of how shared passions can spark human kindness.
