No one helped when the old woman fell — but what happened as she tried to crawl away left everyone speechless.

An elderly woman fell in the middle of the store, but no one even tried to help her: the grandmother was crawling toward the exit, hoping to somehow get home, when something unexpected happened.

The 90-year-old grandmother slowly entered the store, clutching an old wooden cane. Every step was difficult—her legs were shaking, and her back ached so much she felt like she was about to collapse. But she needed to buy groceries. She was used to doing everything herself, despite her age and loneliness.

She walked between the aisles, carefully examining the merchandise. Gray hair peeked out from under a checkered scarf. She took a loaf of bread from the shelf, then put it back when she saw the price. Then she picked up a pack of butter, squinted, turned the package over, and sighed heavily.

The prices seemed inflated, almost mocking. Each time, she put the groceries back more and more often, realizing she might not have enough money even for the bare necessities.

The store was bustling—everyone was busy shopping, and no one noticed the old woman moving with difficulty. She had almost reached the end of the aisle when she suddenly stumbled. At that moment, a sharp, unbearable pain shot through her leg.

“Ow… that hurt…” the old woman screamed and fell to the cold floor, dropping her cane.

Several people turned around. Some froze for a second, then turned away. The woman at the shelf continued choosing yogurts, and the man at the checkout pretended not to notice. The old woman tried to get up, but her legs wouldn’t obey her. She grabbed her cane, pulled herself up, but fell again.
