(Kuala Lumpur, 26th) Flowers, cards, and chocolates are all common farewell gifts, but a young boy from a kindergarten in Malaysia, upon learning that his favorite teacher was about to be transferred, stuffed an entire durian into his backpack to bring to school as a thank-you gift for the teacher. His heartwarming and amusing gesture has melted the hearts of many netizens.
According to a video shared by the boy’s mother, Nasya, on social media Threads, the teacher contacted her that day and said that her son, Affan, gave the teacher a big hug as soon as he arrived at school, then mysteriously announced that he had brought a gift for the teacher.
The teacher thought it would be a small handmade gift or some snacks, so she curiously asked what it was. To her surprise, Affan slowly unzipped his backpack and took out a durian, leaving the teacher stunned before bursting into laughter.
The teacher then held up the durian to the camera and joked, “The whole class smells like durian now.”
Boy: Can I give one to the teacher?
Nasya later revealed that Affan’s grandfather happened to buy durians and bring them home the previous night, and her son immediately asked: “Can I give one to the teacher?”
With his family’s permission, he could not wait to put the durian in his backpack and insisted on giving it to the teacher himself the next day.
It turned out that the day was the teacher’s last day at this kindergarten. To bid farewell to his favorite teacher, Affan decided to give this “weighty” gift to show his appreciation.
The video quickly went viral on social media, with many netizens amused by Affan’s innocence and thoughtfulness, joking that this was the most unique and “smelliest” transfer gift a teacher had ever received.
Some netizens also pointed out that although the child is young, he truly knows how to be grateful. As the teacher leaves, he is willing to give what he considers to be the best and most precious thing to his teacher. This childlike gesture is more touching than any expensive gift.
