One day a man saw an old lady standing on the side of the road needing help. So he pulled up in front of her car and got out. She looked worried, No one had stopped to help her. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. He said, “My name is Bryan Anderson. I’m here to help you. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm?”

All she had was a flat tire. Immediately Bryan began to change the tire. When everything was done, the lady asked how much she owed him. Bryan never thought about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. With a smile, 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 help they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he had the satisfaction of helping someone in need.

A few miles down the road the old lady saw a small cafe. She decided to eat something and take a break before she continued her trip home. A waitress with a sweet smile warmly received her. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she never let the stress and aches change her attitude. The old Lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan. After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill.

The old lady had gone before the waitress came back. leaving a note and four more $100 bills on the table.

That night when Bryan came back home after a tiring work, his wife handed him a note and some bills.

The other day I was travelling to San Antonio by train to visit my sister. The train was a little crowded and there was a young man sitting next to the window. Since it was a hot day, I wanted that window seat more than anything else at that time. As a young lady, I thought the young man would give me the seat if I asked him. So I smiled at him and asked whether he could give up his seat and take another one. To my surprise, he said that he needed that seat and refused my request. I had no choice but to take the seat next to him.

The train was crossing station after station. The weather was so hot that the scenery(风景) outside the window could not attract my interest I had nothing to do, so I started to focus my attention on the young man and stare at him up and down. He wore a blue shirt and there was a shawl(披巾) on his legs. He did not even rise from his seat once, which made me feel a little bit strange. Moreover, only a madman would use a shawl in such hot weather, I thought.

After the five-hour long journey, the train arrived at the final stop. I picked up my bag and stood up, waiting for the door to open. I gave a neglectful (不经意的) look at the young man and asked, “The train has arrived at the final station. Are you not getting off?” Hearing my words, he began to smile at me and said in a calm voice, “Someone has to come for me and take me off the train because I can’t do it by myself. ”I gave my full attention to his legs, only to find there was nothing under that shawl!

The man was a disabled person.

After hearing his story, I could not meet his eyes any more.
