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 at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款臺(tái)),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I Moved off. /Set off./Left/took off.Moved off. /Set off./Left/took off.,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward,I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the mornjye.aig.In later afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day,and the battery (電池) was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership – a shop selling cars – was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
