I did a thing today that made me happy. I passed a stranded motorist on the side of the road. I made a couple of U-turns and went back to check on him.He was a young man, a sweet puppy with him, and his radiator hose was spewing steam. He had no roadside assistance -- of course not, he was all of 19 or 20 -- and had no way out of his predicament.
I called my American Automobile Association (AAA) service and waited an hour with him for the tow truck to come while it was raining. I signed the papers, paid for the extra miles to tow his car home, and then waved goodbye and left. I literally felt like The Good Samaritan, taking care of one of the world's children. I hope he can pay it forward one day.
