Question

Will you put others’ needs before your own? will you get if you do? Here is an experience of mine.

When I work，I called to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy . Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my meal of the day at 5:00 p.m.

As I was halfway home, my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift（搭便车）home. My mind said，“I will help him I get the meal.” But my mouth said，“All right, I’ll give him a .”

He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey because he didn’t have an umbrella.

There a lot of traffic. A drive to him normally took 10 minutes but that day it took 30 minutes.

Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a friend of mine. But，in fact，he is a friend of a friend.

I wonder if I will see this person again but I feel glad that I was there when he me.
