幫助你遇到的下一個(gè)人

JUST HELP THE NEXT PERSON

Some twenty years ago I was working at an insurance agency and drove to work every day. One day the highway was closed down by an accident, so I had to go a number of miles out of my way, through the countryside.

All went well on my way to work. At the end of the day I rushed home as I had a hair appointment. Not being familiar with this road, I topped a hill. A big pot hole appeared right in my path. After I’d crossed it I felt that I had a flat tire. Then, looking into my rearview mirror, I caught sight of a truck pulling out of a pasture behind me. I was relieved and scared at the same time. I kept thinking of all the bad things that had happened to people in deserted places like this.

I jumped out of the car and opened the trunk. I was struggling to get the spare tire out when the man in the truck came up behind me. He introduced himself and offered to help. When he got the spare tire out, we discovered that it was also flat. He told me that I could go with him and he would get it fixed. I called my husband with his phone, and on the way into town he told me that he was married and had a daughter. The pasture which I’d seen him coming from was part of his farm.

We got the tire fixed, and he took me back to my car. My husband was waiting for us there. The kind stranger stayed and helped my husband change the tire, and when they finished we both thanked him and offered to pay him for his help. I will never forget what he said. “Your thanks is more than enough pay, and I just hope that if something like this ever happens to my wife or daughter, someone will be so kind as to help them.”

I don’t remember the name of this gentleman but will never forget his kindness. I pass by that place almost weekly now, and think of him every time.

幫助你遇到的下一個(gè)人

大約20年前,我在一家保險(xiǎn)公司工作,每天開車去上班。有一天公路因?yàn)檐嚨湺忾]了,所以我不得不繞道幾里遠(yuǎn)的郊外。

去上班的路上一切都挺順利。下班后我急匆匆趕回家,因?yàn)槲翌A(yù)約好了要做頭發(fā)。由于不熟悉路況,我把車開到了一座小山頂上,此時(shí)正前方出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)大坑,開過去后我感覺一個(gè)輪胎癟了。這時(shí),我從后視鏡里看到一輛卡車正從草地里開了出來(lái)。我松了口氣,又有點(diǎn)害怕,我不停地想在這樣荒涼的地方可能遇上的種種倒霉事。

我下了車,打開后車廂。當(dāng)我艱難地想把備用胎拿出來(lái)的時(shí)候,后面卡車上的男人走了過來(lái)。他自我介紹了一下,提出要幫我。當(dāng)他把備用胎拿出來(lái)的時(shí)候,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)那也是癟的。他說(shuō)我可以跟著他走,他可以找地方修好它。我用他的手機(jī)給我丈夫打了個(gè)電話。在進(jìn)城的路上,他告訴我他已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了,還有一個(gè)女兒。剛才我看到他出來(lái)的那片草地是他農(nóng)場(chǎng)的一部分。

輪胎修好后,他載我回到我的車邊。我丈夫已經(jīng)在那等著了。這位好心的陌生人沒有離開,幫著我丈夫把車胎給換了。完事后,我們倆都向他道謝,并提出給他酬勞。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記他是怎樣回答我們的:“你們的感謝比付給我更重要,我只希望如果我妻子或女兒遇到這樣的事,有人會(huì)熱心地幫他們一把?!?/P>

我不記得那位好人的姓名,但是我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記他的好意。現(xiàn)在我每周都會(huì)從那經(jīng)過,每次經(jīng)過都會(huì)想起他。

【人生啟迪】

我們老是聽到這樣的叮嚀“不要和陌生人說(shuō)話”或“不要輕信陌生人”,確實(shí)世界上不少攔路搶劫的惡棍,但也不乏“路見不平,拔刀相助”的好人。如果我們加入后者的行列中,正義的力量就又比邪惡的力量強(qiáng)大了一些。
