Norwegians’ reactions to a lonely boy out in the cold without a jacket.

Welp, I just nearly cried in front of my staff.

“Psychologists have found (again and again) that helping others makes you happy. It’s good for you and it’s good for your karma.”

Translation via Reddit: 

Title: “Would you give your jacket to Johannes?”

1st text: What do you do if you see freezing/cold child?

2nd text: We put up a hidden camera and placed Johannes on a busstop.

Blond girl: “Don’t you have a jacket?”

Boy: “No, someone stole it.”

Blond girl: “Where?”

Boy: “Down over there, Im on a field trip with my class, and the teacher told me to meet her here.”

Woman: “Do you have a phonenumber for your teacher?”

Boy: “No.”

Woman: “If so we could have called her.”

Boy: “Yeah.”

Young man: “Are you okey?”

Boy: “No, I’m very cold”

Young man: “Are you cold?”

Boy: Nods

Woman: “Do you want my scarf? Will it help?”

Boy: “yes”

Woman: “Here you go, it’s good and warm”

(cut) Different people give him clothes, he says thank you very much (cut)

Blond girl: “What school do you go to?”

Boy: “Ramberg”

Blond Girl: “Ramberg?”

Boy: “I’m from Moss” [it’s about 65km from where this bus stop is]

Final Text: Children in Syria are cold. Send SOS to 2160 (90 kr [=~$15]) and give a warm jacket.
