Coffees and Cakes on a Country Road

--by juliapenn, posted Oct 15, 2008

The exhaust of my car recently fell off on a country road, when I was driving along with two of my friends with me. A man stopped to offer his help, showing us ID so we knew who he was. At the time, we were waiting for the breakdown truck to arrive. He offered to take us somewhere safe, but we said we weren't in a hurry, as were were only on our way to have coffee and cake at a local garden centre. So, he wished us well and left.

Ten minutes later he turned up with coffee and cakes for the three of us! It certainly put a smile on our faces and he didn't want payment. He said he hoped someone would do the same for his wife if she had broken down somewhere! His kind gesture certainly cheered up three women!
