One day a I saw an old lady,
stranded on the side of the road, but
even in the dim light of day, I could
see she needed help. So I pulled up
in front of her Mercedes and got out.
My Pontiac was still sputtering when I approached her.
Even with the smile on my face, she
was worried. No one had stopped to
help for the last hour or so. Was I
going to hurt her? I didn’t look
safe; I looked poor and hungry. I could see that she was frightened,
standing out there in the cold. I knew how she felt. It was those chills
which only fear can put in you.
I said, “I’m here to help you,
ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my
name is Oni Tunde Temitope.”
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for
an old lady, that was bad enough.
I crawled under the car looking
for a place to put the jack, skinning my knuckles a time or two. Soon I
was able to change the tire. But I
had to get dirty and my hands hurt.
As I was tightening up the lug nuts,
she rolled down the window and
began to talk to me. She told me that she was from St. Louis and was
only just passing through. She
couldn’t thank me enough for
coming to her aid.
I just smiled as I closed her
trunk. The lady asked how much she owed me. Any amount would have
been all right with her. She already
imagined all the awful things that
could have happened had I not
stopped. I never thought twice
about being paid. This was not a job to me. This was helping someone in
need, and God knows there were
plenty, who had given me a hand in
the past. I had lived my whole life
that way, and it never occurred to
me to act any other way. I told her that if she really wanted
to pay me back, the next time she
s aw someone who needed help, she
could give that person the assistance
they needed, and I added, “And
think of me.” I waited until she started her car
and drove off. It had been a cold and
depressing day, but I felt good as
I headed for home, disappearing
into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab
a bite to eat, and take the chill off
