Pick up in the rain

One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s.


The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxi cab. She seemed to be in a big hurry! She wrote down his address, thanked him and drove away. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home.

A special note was attached. It read: Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes but my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole

After a carefully pay attention to read this story, I realize that it have hided educated thing in. In order to live in world people have to help each other in all situations. After all the reward will be back when some once time till life is over. It's really life award.

yes, surely, living in the society we cannot live alone, we cannot separate from the society. Although we may not need to help the others, but one day we will need help from the people around us, from the society. This is true that we can deny. Ling in the society we have socialize with the whole community. Doing good things as much as possible; today we may not get feedback from our goodness, but the other days we will surly get it.

The topic want to show that helping each other is very good for people live in society and In the world. It also make people live in Peace and make us easy to community each other. Moreover we are easy to develope our society. On the other hand,our religious said that helping each other is the best way to live in happiness

Because of the kind man helping, the African American woman can see her husband for the last time. She is very pleasant with the man activity because she can get good help while she need it.We should follow the man kindness, so we can live in happiness life in our society.

Helping another while they face the problem is not difficult for you to do. Sometime our good doing that we done on them is back to us about good thing also. Like in this story a man who help a lady that she was standing in the rain, after a few day later he also got something that the lady gave him. This mean that helping when someone get problem is the best doing that all people should do it.

This story show people that good doing and good receiving.Helping people is very good way. If you someone have problem, like traffic accident or fail in to the water.......... Please just help them, don't care he or she good or bad person. Think that, what happen when your relative were in that situation.How do you fell with the person who help your relative.well, we are very happy and thankful to them.

After i read this story, I think that the author want to show the people to helps another one that have a problem and think about good way. One more think I follow the author to helps a person that have a problem and don't want to get a feedback from it.

After read this story carefully, I really appreciate to the young man who bared to help her in the middle of the raindrop. It’s good to help people and hope to do so. Because of scarify, it educated people to help others. Sometimes, we get a reward, but mostly not in Cambodia. However, we have to be careful with danger people too because not all people are good like this African American Woman.

Of course, living in the society we cannot live isolatedly from the society. Although we may not need to help the others, but one day we will need help from the people around us, from the society. This is true that we can deny. Living in the society we have socialize with the whole community. Doing good things as much as possible; today we may not get feedback from our goodness, but the other days we will surly get it. What goes round, comes round!
