Man's message to parents of girl, 5, who approached him in Aldi

People were blown away after a little girl approached a stranger in Aldi.

A "sweet little girl", aged around five, saw a man in need of help as she shopped with her parents at the Aldi supermarket in Bidston, Wirral.

The man in question was so grateful for the stranger's act of kindness that he took to Facebook to say thanks and to spread the "great lesson" the girl's parents had taught her.
