He almost didn't see the old lady stand on the side of the road,but even in the dim light of day,he could see she needed help.So he stopped his car and got out,walked towards her.
Even with the smile on his face,she was worried.No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so.Was he going to hurt her?He didn't look safe.
He said,"I am here to help you,ma'am.Why don't you wait in the car where it is warm?By the way,my name is Bryan Anderson."
Well,all she had was a flat tire (爆胎),but for an old lady,that was bad enough.Bryan crawled under the car looking for the jerk,and changed the tire.But he had to get dirty,and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts,she rolled down the window and began to talk to him.She told him that she was from St.Louis and was only just passing through.She was grateful(感激的) for his help.
Bryan just smiled as he finished the work.The lady asked how much she owed him.Any amount would have been all right with her.She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened if he had not stopped.Bryan never thought about being paid.This was not a job to him.This was helping someone in need,and God knows there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past.He had lived his whole life that way,and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back,the next time she saw someone who needed help,she could give the person the assistance he or she needed,and Bryan added,"And think of me."
He waited until she started her car and drove off.It had been a cold and depressing day,but he felt good as he headed home,disappearing into the twilight.
