My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to pour heavily.
When it became lighter, I decided to brave the rain(冒雨) to get my
, which was parked at my office three streets away.
My friends argued that I shouldn’t go, mainly
I was seven months pregnant (懷孕的) then. I told them that I’d be very
. One of them wanted to come with me but I insisted that she should stay with another friend who needed
with her baby.
I walked out of the
and started making my way to the car. At the traffic crossing,a car stopped and the passenger
with an umbrella.
I knew what was happening, he walked right beside me and told me he’d send me to my destination(目的地). I was very embarrassed(尷尬的) and refused,
he insisted on offering me his help.
During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was
. When we got to the car parking lot, I
him and we parted(分手). I did not get his
and may not even recognize(認識) him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I’ll never know.
So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I
two Indian construction(建筑) workers walking in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the construction sitenear my home, which was a long walk. I went out and
them an umbrella. The two men were wet through. They were surprised by my action , and I told them they should
the umbrella and keep it. They were very
. And like me, probably wondered why a stranger was giving such kindness.
