The Story of the Good Samaritan:

A Jewish man was travelling and was attacked by armed robbers on the way. They took all his clothes and money and beat him badly. They left him beside the road, almost dead. By chance, two Jewish persons came along. They saw the man lying there but instead of helping him, they crossed to the other side and continued on their journey.

Then a Samaritan came along. When the Samaritan saw the man, he had pity on him. He washed and bandaged his wounds. He put the man on his donkey and took him to an inn. There, the Samaritan looked after him. When it was time for him to leave, he gave the innkeeper some money and asked him to continue caring for the injured man until he recovered.

Out of all the people who saw the man lying on the road, the Samaritan was the only one who helped him.
