It can get damn cold in Norway, like Canada cold. So what happens when a boy with no coat on waits shivering at a bus stop?
According to an article in the Mirror, 11-year-old Johannes Lønnestad Flaaten found himself in that position on a chilly day in Oslo.
Mercifully, it isn't long before strangers find their humanity and reach out to the boy. Scarves, hats, gloves and coats are offered up in a viral clip that has warmed the hearts of some six million viewers on YouTube.
Even though Johannes is an actor, and the scene a mere set-up by the charity SOS Children's Village, hopefully it will inspire the same generosity toward the children affected by the civil war in Syria.
Donate clothes and blankets to Syrian refugees.
