A recent incident involving a tourist in Morocco has brought attention to the principles of humanity and the expectations surrounding rewards for helping others. The tourist, who had lost his way to his hotel,
was assisted by two local boys.
Despite expressing his gratitude, the boys were displeased with the small amount of money he offered them. However, the situation took a dramatic turn when the tourist disclosed his religion, prompting the boys to apologise.
A video capturing this incident has gone viral on X, shared by the account @TimesAlgebraIND. The video’s authenticity, which has amassed over 400,000 views, has not been verified by News18, leading to suspicions that it could have been staged for attention.
In the footage, the tourist is seen reaching his hotel with the help of the two boys, to whom he offers five Moroccan Dirhams (Rs 45) as a token of appreciation. The boys express their dissatisfaction with the amount, which leads the tourist to explain that his gesture is heartfelt.

Their frustration grew until they returned the money. When asked about their faith, and learning he shared it, the boys quickly apologised and left.
The incident suggests that tourists of that certain faith in Morocco may be harder to deceive, unlike others who might more easily fall victim to such scams.
The video has sparked a range of comments, with viewers noting the boys’ swift change in attitude and the importance of looking beyond religious identities. One user recommended hiring a guide when travelling in unfamiliar countries. Stay tuned for more such surprising videos.
