When he was driving home one evening on a country road，he saw an old lady，stranded(抛锚的)on the side of the road．He stopped in front of her car and got out．Even with the smile on his face，she was worried．He looked poor and hungry．He knew how she felt．He said，“I am here to help you，Madam．Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm?
