Be kind is a good idea. I'll give it a try.

Yesterday My wife and I were out running around in our car. The battery went down and we were caught in the middle of the road and the car would not start.

Many, many people drove past us. A car with two people who spoke very little English stopped and ask if they could help.

We finally worked out by sign and talking that I needed a jump on my battery and I didn't have any jumper cables with me.

He said I'll be back I go home and get some.

And you know what he did. And my car started. I asked him if I could pay him. He backed up and put up his hands shacking his head no.

I thanked them and left to get my car fixed.

Not end of story.

I will be more aware of people who may need help that are stopped on the highways.

What a nice story - and that couple could teach others a thing or two about being kind to strangers. I hope that others treat them as well, but somehow I have an idea they don't receive the same kindness and courtesy as they extended to you and your wife.
