STORY SYNOPSIS
A Lesson in Listening, kindness, & taking action
Written in verse, 'The Quiet Man' is both a lesson in how actions speak louder than words, and a story that shows just how that can be done. When an old woman is caught in the rain on her way home from the market, a man sees her from his window and decides to help. With kindness in his offer and a gentle manner, the old woman accepts his help, and what follows is a heart-warming tale of new friendship.
