A man was driving his car, when he saw an
old lady, stranded on the side of the road. He
saw that she needed help. So he stopped his
Pontiac near her Mercedes and got out.
He smiled, while he was approaching her, still
she was worried, as nobody had stopped for
hours. Moreover, he did not look safe, as his
appearance was so poor and shabby. He could
see, how frightened she was, so he tried to
calm her: „ I‘m here to help you, don‘t worry.
My name is Bryan Anderson“.
The tire was flat, so he had to crawl under
the car. While changing the tire, he got dirty
and his hands were hurt.
When the job was done, she asked how much
she owed him for his help. Bryan smiled. He
said: „If you really want to pay me back, the
next time you see someone, who needs help,
give that person the needed assistance. And
think of me“.
At the same evening, the lady stopped by a
small cafe. That place looked dingy. Then she
saw a waitress, nearly eight months pregnant,
wiping her wet hair with a towel. The
waitress had a sweet friendly smile, although
she had spent on her feet the whole day.
The lady wondered how someone, who has so
little, can be so kind and giving to a stranger.
Then she remembered Bryan.
The lady had finished her meal and paid with
a hundred dollar bill. The waitress went to get
change and when she came back, the lady
was gone. She left a note on the napkin: „You
don‘t own me anything. Somebody once
helped me, just like now I‘m helping you. If
you really want to pay me back, do not let this
chain of love end with you“. The waitress
found four more one hundred bills under the
napkin.
That night the waitress came home earlier.
She was thinking about the lady and the
money she left. She was wondering, how the
lady could know, how much she and her
husband needed it, especially now, when the
baby will soon arrive. She knew that her
husband worried about that, so she was glad
to tell him good news. Then she kissed him
and whispered „Now everything will be all
right. I love you, Bryan Anderson“.
