Well,all she had was flat tire,but for an old lady that was bad enough.lucas crawled under d car looking for a place to put the jack and it was raining heavly.Soon he was through with the tire but he was so dirty and his hands hurts.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts,she rolled down the window and began to talk to him.she told him dat she was from St louis and just passing through.she couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid. Lucas jst smiled and closed her trunk.The lady asked how much she owes him,any amount would have been enough with her.Lucas never thought twice about being paid.This was not a job to him.This was helping sum1 in need and God knows there were plenty ,who had given him hand in past.He had lived his whole life that way and it never occoured to him to act any other way.He told her if she really wanted to pay him back,Next time she saw som1 who needed help,she could give the person d assistant they needed and he added,"Think of me".
He waited until the old lady started her car and drove off.This had been a cold and depressing day but he felt good as he headed 4 home.
A few miles away,the lady saw a small cafeteria,she went in to grab a bite to eat and sum drinks b4 she will made d last leg of her trip to home.it was a dirty looking restaurant,d whole scene was unfamiliar to her.The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe off her wet hair,she had a sweet smile.The lady noticed that the waitress was eight months pregnant,but she never let d strain and ashes change her attitude.The old lady wondered how sum1 who had a little could be given to a stranger,Then she remembered Lucas.
After the lady finished her meal,she paid with #1000. The waitress quickly went to get balance for her #1000 but d lady had slipped out through the right door.she had gone b4 the lady culd come back.The waitress wondered were the lady culd be,then she noticed sumtin written on napkin.There were tears on her eyes as she read what the lady wrote "You don't owe me anything,i have been there too.Sumbody once helped me the way i'm helping you,if u really wants to pay me back, here is wat you will do. Do not let the chain of love ends with you, "under the napkin were Two hundered thousand naira (#200,000)
Well,there were many tables to clean,plates to wash,people to serve,but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed,she was thinking about the money and what the lady has written.
How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed the money? With the baby due next month,it was going to be hard ...
She knew how worried her husband was and as he lay sleeping next to her,she gave him a soft kiss and said "Everything is going to be all right,i love you, Lucas Moore"
This is an old sayin "what goes around,comes back around" ...i'm bk again.....vos desidero!!..... slainte!!
