On a cold evening with snow floating in the air,I got struck on the road because of a flat tire. I attempted to seek help from the passing cars, but no one stopped.As I was about to give up hope,a man driving an old dirty car came to my aid. To be honest,I was scared when he first approached me. Eyeing him up and down,I thought to myself,"There is a very good chance that he may rob me."

   He seemed to have sensed my discomfort so he tried to ease my anxiety by introducing himself. His act of kindness made me feel ashamed to have questioned his intentions. It was really considerate of him to stop to help a perfect stranger like me, especially in such terrible weather. Thus, after the spare tire was fitted,I asked how much I owed him. I wanted to pay him back. Surprisingly, he did not take my offer but told me to pass the act of kindness forward and help more people in need. As he said those words, I noticed him wearing a smile of contentment. Helping others seemed a very natural thing to him. I witnessed the true beauty of human nature in him.
