Brian was driving along a deserted road. Suddenly he saw a stalled Mercedes on the side of the road. An elderly woman sat in it, looking completely confused. He stopped in front of her car, got out of his old Pontiac and walked towards the already desperate woman. The lady was very scared, because the whole time she was sitting in the car, no one stopped. And this young man - will he harm her?
“My name is Brian Anderson,” he introduced himself. - I will help you, madam. For now, move into my car - you will be a little warmer there.
Having examined the car, he realized that the car's tire had burst. However, due to her age, the woman simply could not cope with the problem herself. Brian squatted down, looked under the car to determine where to place the jack, then rubbed his hands together to warm his fingers and got to work. After changing the tire, the young man smiled.
The lady asked:
- How much do I owe you for my work? — and hastily added: “The price doesn’t matter.”
Brian replied:
-You don't owe me anything. I simply helped someone who needed it in difficult times. After all, only God knows how many times people have helped me in the past. If you really want to thank me, then the next time you see someone in need, help that person and then remember me.
The woman thanked her and got into her car. A few kilometers later she saw a restaurant. She went into it to warm up and have a snack before the road. The girl serving her smiled welcomingly, despite the fact that she had clearly been on her feet all day. It was clear that neither her work, nor pregnancy, nor everyday worries deprived this girl of her friendliness.
After finishing her dinner, the woman paid for it with a $100 bill. While the girl went to get change, the lady quickly left the restaurant. When she returned, she discovered that the woman had disappeared. She looked around the table and noticed a note on the table. Tears flowed from her eyes when she read what was written: “You don’t owe me anything. I just passed by. Someone helped me today - just like I am doing for you. If you really want to pay me, then all you have to do is not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin on the table were four more $100 bills. And how could the lady know how much she and her husband needed money?
At home, the girl, clinging to her husband, kissed him tenderly and said quietly:
- Everything will be fine! I love you, Brian Anderson.
