One day a man saw an old lady, stranded(被困在)on the side of the road.Despite the dim light, he could see she needed help.So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out.
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 looked poor and hungry.“I'm here to help you, ma’am.By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson, ” he said.
The car had broken down but it was easily fixed.As he was tightening up the screws(螺丝)on the door, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him.She told him that she was from St.Louis and was only passing through.She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Anderson just smiled as he closed her trunk(后备箱).The lady asked how much 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 that person the assistance they needed.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small café.The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase(清除).The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain(劳累)and aches change her attitude when she served her.
The lady finished her meal and paid with a hundred dollar bill.The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door.She was gone by the time the waitress came back.The waitress wondered where the lady could be.
There was a note on the napkin: “You don't owe me anything.Somebody once helped me out the way I'm helping you.If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: do not let this chain of love end with you.”
Under the napkin were four more $100bills.
