What determines us as persons is not the way we act when everything is okay, but when the going gets tough. That's where everyone shows their true colors.

Butt the way we show gratitude when someone helps us is equally important. Unfortunately, many people will never learn that lesson.

Maybe it is too hard for them, but the most probable reason is that they don't want to even try. Sorry and thank you seem to be the hardest words for us to say or show.

Well, if animals can do it, so can we. A kangaroo was rescued by two people after it became stranded on a freezing lake in Australia.

The kangaroo was shivering and afraid when the two guys approached him. When one of the men approached the poor kangaroo, he was still concerned and afraid.

Then another man arrived, cautiously, to help him out of the water. Thankfully, the men were able to guide the kangaroo out of the freezing pool, sparing the life of the poor, helpless animal.

The adorable kangaroo extended his hand to one of his rescuers as a token of gratitude. The video went viral on social media, with thousands of people thanking these heroes for saving this cute kangaroo from certain death.

Take a look at this heartwarming story:

According to sources, this kangaroo has been rescued three times in one morning from the freezing waters of Lake Burley Griffin by passers-by.

Members of the public came across the shivering marsupial in waters by the Captain Cook fountain around 5:30 am.

The temperature in Canberra was -1.5 degrees at the time, according to the Bureau of Meteorology, with an apparent temperature of -6 degrees.

The rescue may be seen in the video:

“This was my morning - only in Canberra - well done to these two guys - bloody freezing - the guy wearing the Soldier On Top is ex Navy - good news the kangaroo came good,” the video caption said.

Mr Boyd added, "I was strolling down the lake about 5.30 this morning and observed the little fella sitting in the water, shivering, and obviously in a bit of trouble."

He immediately dialed Access Canberra, and two other persons assisted the creature in getting out of the water.

He stated that he had never witnessed anything like it in Canberra. Mr Boyd, who is leaving the city, said that the community's attempts to save the kangaroo had boosted his spirits.

"It was just a good news thing ... make people happy I guess, and the times we're living in a moment it's good to see people rally around and get something done, and have a good outcome," he said.

It is only natural to wonder what was that kangaroo doing in the water, and why he needed to be rescued three times. According to some eyewitness statements, he was “fighting” some local bicyclists.

An eyewitness Penelope Twemlow told The Canberra Times:

"I saw a kangaroo fighting, for want of a better word, a gentleman on a bicycle," she said. That gentleman had the bike in between him and the kangaroo to try and defend himself, and the minute he tried to get away the kangaroo went after him again," Ms. Twemlow said.

"In the kerfuffle, the kangaroo ended up in Lake Burley Griffin."
