Love Needs to Be Passed on

The story took place in a small town in winter. One day a man met an old lady standing by an expensive car. It was clear that her car broke down. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling， the old lady was worried."Is he going to hurt me？"

The man could see that she was frightened， so in his friendliest voice he said，"I'm here to help you， madam. Why don't you wait in the car to get warm？ By the way， my name is Bryan Anderson." It took Bryan about fifty minutes to fix the car. The lady felt quite thankful and she asked how much she should pay him.

But Bryan wanted no money. It's very normal for him to help others. He said， "If you want to repay me， next time you see someone in need， just give out your friendly hand."

After saying goodbye，the lady continued down the road till she reached a small cafe. She stopped for something to eat. As the pretty waitress stood next to her， the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant. Although she looked tired， she still served the customers with a smile on her face. As the old lady was going to pay the $ 10 bill， she remembered Bryan's words.

The old lady paid one hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change， the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. Her eyes were filled with tears when she read it."Somebody once helped me the way I'm helping you. If you want to pay me back， continue being kind to others."Under the note were nine more $ 100 bills.

Was the old lady an angel？ The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell the story. "Bryan…Bryan Anderson my dear…you're not going to believe what has happened…"

Love needs to be passed on. Everyone can be an angel.

愛需要不斷傳承

故事發(fā)生在冬天里的一個小城鎮(zhèn)上。

一天，一個男士遇到一位老婦人站在一輛昂貴的轎車旁，很明顯她的車壞了，于是他停下破舊卡車并從車上下來。雖然他微笑著，但老婦人還是很擔心，“他會傷害我嗎？”

他能看得出來她很害怕，于是他用最友好的聲音說：“我來幫你，夫人，你為什么不在車里邊等邊取暖呢？順便說一下，我的名字叫布萊恩·安德森?！辈既R恩花了大約五十分鐘修好了轎車，這位女士非常感謝，并問她應該付給他多少錢。

但布萊恩沒想要錢。對他來說，幫助別人很正常。他說：“如果你想給我付費，下次你看到有身處困境的人，就伸出你的援助之手吧?！?/p>

說完再見，老婦人繼續(xù)沿路行駛，直到她來到一家小咖啡館，便停下來想吃點東西。當漂亮的女服務員站在她身旁時，老婦人注意到她懷孕差不多有八個月了。盡管她看起來很累，但她仍然面帶微笑地為顧客服務。當老婦人要支付10美元的賬單時，她想起了布萊恩的話。

老婦人付了一百美元，但當女服務員帶著找回的零錢返回時，婦人已經(jīng)走了。她在桌子上看到了一個小紙條，當她讀完紙條上的內(nèi)容時眼里充滿了淚水。“有人曾用我?guī)椭愕姆绞綆椭^我，如果你想把錢退還給我，請繼續(xù)對他人友好吧?！痹诩垪l下，還有另外九張100美元的鈔票。
