It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. I stopped at a teahouse to enjoy a cup of tea. Suddenly, I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say, "Hi, David! How are you doing?"
Looking back, I saw a man. He looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where we had met.
The young man also held a cup of tea, so I asked him to join me. Very soon, his story began to evoke my memory.
His name is Peter. Six years earlier, Peter was driving back home late on a February night. A heavy snow had arrived that afternoon, and by midnight, the snowdrifts(雪堆) were getting deep. His car was stuck in a snowdrift just down the road from my house.
He walked to my house for help. I helped him pull his car out of the snowdrift and up to the street where the snow had been cleaned away.
This was a normal happening here during the winter. I couldn't count the times I has helped others to pull their cars from a snowdrift. However, it was an unforgettable experience for him. He was only eighteen at that time, and he said he was very afraid. No one wants to be stuck in a snowdrift at night.
Sometimes, one simple kindness at the right moment can change the direction of a life. So, be kind and helpful.
