I read it a bit differently, the author specifically wrote that he thought to himself why would a bochur feel it necessary to clean up a city bus? Until he, the author, realized that the paper was “heimeshe”. So I ask, what’s the difference if the papers were USA Today or “heimeshe”
I’m not taking anything away from the bochur’s deed, it was certainly a Kiddush HaShem, and we can all learn from this boy.
I do however question the author’s reason for the nachas…
