Man changes tire and changes a life!
A letter to Dear Abbey captures this timeless story.
A women and her boyfriend went out to a movie. As they got out of her car, the woman noticed that one of her tires was almost flat.
The boyfriend decided to go ahead and buy the tickets while she drove to a nearby gas station to put air in the tire, but by the time she got back to the parking lot, the tire was completely flat, and it had begun to rain.
She called her boyfriend on his cell, only to have him tell her he had already bought the tickets, and he knew nothing about changing a tire. He said he'd wait inside the theater and for her to "hurry up."
A man jogging by with his family on their way to dinner saw the flat tire and sent his family ahead to get a table and dry off while he stopped to help, and he changed the tire in the pouring rain. He wouldn't accept anything for helping and ran to join his family.
When she entered the theater her boyfriend chewed her out for making him miss the first part of the show. All she could think of during the movie was how lucky that good Samaritan's wife was to have such a kind husband and how silly she was to still be sitting there with a jerk of a boyfriend.
The gentleman who helped her that evening changed more than her tire, he changed the course of her life.
