My daughter and I were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas.We were running low on gas(汽油)somewhere in New Mexico and hoped to meet a gas station soon.
But that didn't happen and we realized we were not going to make it to the next town.So my daughter made up a sign that said, "Low on gas.Can you help me?" and held it outside her window,hoping a driver in the next lane(车道)would notice it and stop.
There weren't too many cars passing by us at that time.It was a desolate stretch of the road and about3:30 p.m.on a weekday.A truck was driving along in the neighboring lane ahead of us.We caught up with it in the hope that the driver would notice the sign.An elderly gentleman was driving it and after an expression of confusion(困惑) on his face,he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over.We pulled over right behind him.
He was friendly and was willing to help us.At first he thought we didn't have enough money to buy gas,so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10 miles' away!
When we explained our trouble,he said he was a factory worker and was returning home from work.His factory was about 10 minutes away and they had gas there,so if we could give him 20 minutes,get a can of gas and fill up our car for us.We could not believe our good luck!
We were filled with thanks for the kindness of strangers such as this person when we waited for him to return.Sure enough,he was back with the can.He refused to take payment for the gas.Tears came down,as did our warm thanks.
