In the now viral post, a Twitter user wrote, "Mizoram, a 6 year old Indian boy mistakenly ran over his neighbors chicken.

Now it has been reported that the little boy apparently was honoured with an appreciation award for his bravery by his school and it is melting our hearts.

In another Facebook post, by Sanga Says, the boy can also be seen draped in a Tawlhloh Puan as he holds his award for a picture.

The shawl is an honour given to those who have exemplified extraordinary courage.

The post said, I guess by now you all know who this adorable kid is. Derek C Lalchhanhima (age 6) is being honoured by his school and he is draped in a shawl which is a traditional way of honouring someone among Mizos. In Mizo tradition different types of shawls are usually presented to esteemed guests and in olden days, to pasalha (braves or warriors) who have accomplished great feats. The shawl that is draped on him looks like a modified version of the "Tawlhloh Puan", an honour given to those who have exemplified extraordinary courage.

We can all learn an important lesson about empathy from him. His innocence is what we need to learn in today's time.
