An Opportunity to be a Good Samaritan

--by dfcole, posted May 18, 2010

I was on my way home one evening when I saw someone walking on the side of the street. I recognized him as one of the people that works at one of my favourite resturants. I pulled over and offered him a ride home. He said that would be great and got in.

His truck had broken down earlier in the day and he could not find anyone to help him get it started so he started walking home. He had been walking for hours by the time I got to him and was exhausted. I took him about 10 miles the other way to his house.

He thanked me many times and said he would get me some free food next time I was at the restaurant but I refused and said that wasn't necessary.
