One night in December, Roy got on the subway for Brooklyn to pick up his son from his grandmother’s.

Roy knew he needed to open the green folder(文件夹)on his legs,because inside lay his son's math excises that father and son were supposed to complete together.

His son,who was in fourth grade,had just failed a test. Roy,40,was never great at math. He opened the folder and started on a problem,but wasn't sure if he was doing it correctly. Then a man got on the train and sat next to him.

"He looked like a teacher or something knowledgeable,"Roy thought,"he might know something about math. "

Like most New Yorkers. Roy didn't often talk to others on the subway. But this time,he shared his problem with the stranger. To his surprise,the man offered to help. The two men talked through the math problems. The stranger helped Roy understand them,so he could later teach his son.

The moment was captured(拍摄)by Jean Stoker,who was heading home from her job and saw the pair doing homework. She posted the photo online. "I really love seeing things like this especially in New York,"she wrote. "To be a dad…and put his pride aside and learn from a complete stranger…it was so cool. "

The 20-minute subway lesson gave Roy high hopes that his son would pass the next test. "He's going to knock it out of the park. "Roy said.
