Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped al a gas station about 50 miles away from
Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收银台), I said hello to anolder couplewho were alsopaying forgas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped andwonderedwhat I should do. Acarpulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They saidtheywould lake me to my friend's. We chattedon the wayto the city, and I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife athank-you notefor helping me. Soon afterwards, Ireceiveda Christmas present from them, Their note that came with it said helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearbytownin the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found twosalesmenin the showroom.
