Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a
36 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from
37 to toe, explained that he had
38 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant wife and his two children
39 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had
40 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 41 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he
42 me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater
43 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and 44 .While the little ones played and ran
45 ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the
46 .
It was about 5 a.m. before they
47 .The young fellow asked me how much he
48 me and I told him that the petrol pump had
49 $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later, I received a
50 from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to
51 to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It
52 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most
53 person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and
54 me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this
55 ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
