My brother him a wrench, and then began to help him the tire. The young man said that this had been a week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “breath of fresh air”, and kept us because he really would have been stuck we hadn’t come along.
After we had finished the job he thanked us and pulled out $20 and to give it to us. “No,” my brother said. “We were supposed to get on that bridge. Yet we took a wrong turn. But now we know we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to .”
