A Stalled Truck Presented an Opportunity to Help Out

--by a01351393, posted Dec 30, 2017

I was on my way home. It was raining and I could not see the street at all. While I was at a traffic light waiting for it to turn green, I looked to the right and saw an old man. He was accompanied by a young man, perhaps his son. They were trying to push their truck to switch it on again and when I saw that I started thinking "what if I were them?" If I had the same problem, I'd like someone to help me.

So I turned on the blinker lights of my car and stopped right behind their truck. I started helping pushing the truck so they could turn it on. Despite our efforts, it still wouldn't start. Suddenly I remembered the battery charger I used weeks ago to charge my car's battery and I checked my car's trunk; the charger was still there! I used it to pass electricity to the old's man truck and it finally worked. They shook my hand and thanked me.

I felt happy for them and satisfied for having the opportunity to help people.
