WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

One day a man saw an lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled
up in front of her car and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried.

No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills
which only fear can put in you. He said, “can i help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? my name is Sam and all she had was a flat tire, but for a lady, that was bad enough. Sam crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the
tire.

But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from atlanta and was
only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid. Sam just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much . Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Sam never thought twice about collecting anything from her. This was not a job
to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole
life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she
saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Sam added, “And remember me.”
He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and hectic day, but he felt good as he headed for home.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a restaurant . She went in to get what to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of
her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came
over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase.
The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude.

The lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Sam. After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the
waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do, do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more $100 bills. Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and 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 had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? 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 whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Sam"
