He was driving home one evening on a two-lane country road, work, in this small community, was almost as terrible as his beat-up truck. Ever since the Levis factory closed, he’d been unemployed, and with winter approaching, the chill had finally hit home.
Suddenly, he saw an old lady, whose car broke down on the side of the road. Even in the dim light of the night, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got off.
Despite the smile on his face, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened,” I’ m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Joe Anderson.”
Well, all she had was only a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough, Joe crawled under the car. Half an hour later, he finished changing the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much money she owed him. 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 needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. Then he left.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat and take the chill off. The waitress noticed the lady’s wet hair and brought a clean towel to wipe it. She had a sweet smile,one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant. She was curious and asked,＂It’s too late and freezing cold. As a mother-to-be, why don’t you go home early?”“My husband is out of job, so I want to share the burden of supporting the family with him. Besides,I also want to help the people in need at night.” The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger.

Why Do Adults Love Animated Movies?

We love heroes
Almost every cartoon has something to do with the journey of a character. A journey towards adulthood, or towards finding oneself, or succeeding in a quest.4. A hero that overcomes all obstacles trying to find true meaning and happiness in his or her existence? Plenty of times, the characters in animated films are bigger-than-life and that’s what we need in order to believe in humans again.
They are treats for adults

A.They bring out the child in us.
B.Anything can happen in childhood.
C.And who doesn’t love a hero like that?
D.Talents work together in producing animated films.
