R. Akiva Eiger once traveled in a rain storm with his aide in a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage in which he was riding got stuck in a puddle of rain and mud. His aide got out to push the wagon out of the mud. When he got back onto the carriage his feet were wet. RAE said, “Your feet must be wet, here is a pair of dry socks. The aide was very appreciative and put on the dry socks.
He wondered: Where did RAE get the dry socks? His suitcase is in the trunk and I have the key.
When they arrived and RAE was walking, the aide noticed that RAE had no socks on. The aide realized that RAE must have taken his own socks off when he was pushing the carriage.
RAE not only had great kashes but great compassion, as well.
