Especially if they have stairs to climb, garbage to carry to the curb, or a
large yard to maintain — and this last one turned out to be a real problem for
75-year-old Gerry Suttle.
Gerry lives in Riesel, Texas, where a local law bans residents from letting
their grass get more than 18 inches (45 cm) tall.
But back in 2015, Gerry had difficulty keeping her lawn neat and tidy.
After a while, the police noticed, and they even sent her a notice to
appear in court.
But Gerry never saw the notice, so she didn't show up for her court date.
Eventually, the police issued a warrant for Gerry's arrest and the elderly
woman was about to be thrown in jail.
The news became the talk of the town, and when four young boys saw a news
report about Gerry on TV, they knew exactly what they had to do.
The Reynolds brothers each brought a lawnmower to Gerry's house and and
started cutting the grass and weeds.
"We haven't met her yet, but she's 75 years old and she needs some
help mowing. That's the least we could do," Blaine Reynolds told News 10.
"That made me feel bad because it's a 75-year-old woman. Who's gonna
mow their lawn?" Blake Reynolds said when he heard that Gerry could end up
in jail.
When other people in the area saw what happened, they also joined the
effort — and in just two hours, Gerry's entire lawn was mowed.
"I am very seldom without words. This is one time. You might want to
mark it down in history that I didn't have something to say," Gerry said
before hugging her little heroes.

Please consider sharing if you also think that more young
people should be like the Reynolds brothers. They really deserve all the praise
in the world!
