At 3:30 a.m., David was awakened by a knock at the door. Hoping it would stop, he tried to ignore it, but a second, louder knock convinced him to get up. His wife urged him to answer it, and he reluctantly headed downstairs.<\/p>\n
Peering outside, he saw a young man shivering in a thin jacket. The stranger, Alex, apologized and explained that his car had broken down nearby and his phone battery had died.<\/p>\n
David\u2019s annoyance quickly turned to concern. He invited Alex inside, made him a cup of tea, and used his phone to call roadside assistance. As they talked, Alex explained he was a college student returning from a late study session.<\/p>\n
Remembering times when strangers had helped him, David was glad to do the same. After arranging assistance, he accompanied Alex back to his car and waited until the tow truck arrived. Alex thanked him repeatedly before leaving.<\/p>\n
Back in bed, David\u2019s wife asked if everything was okay. Smiling, he replied, \u201cJust someone who needed a little help.\u201d<\/p>\n
