THIS Morning viewers were full of praise for a young boy from Manchester who has befriended a boy from Syria.
Jack and Rani appeared on the ITV show today to discuss their heart-warming bromance, which features on Educating Greater Manchester.
Explaining why he decided to befriend Rani, Jack said: “Cos he was in the corner by himself so I thought he would need a friend.
“He said Syria and I took a step back because you hear bad things about it on the TV. But I asked him if he wanted to join our group of friends.”
Describing how he felt, Rani said: "I was alone and I was really sad. When Jack came up to me I feel something in my heart and we became friends."
He also revealed that his mate has been helping him learn English, saying: "If I don’t understand a word he tells me what it means so I can understand it."
Those watching at home couldn’t get enough of the boys, in particular Jack for his selfless behaviour.
