Oh, I love the challenge of writing with a specified number of words. I hope the tire incident is only in your mind... but you created such a believable post - I can see that it could be true.
A stranger stopped to help change my
flat tire. I was jumping up and down on the four way tire iron
without success. He made short work of it and refused money I
pressed into his palm. He said, “When you see my wife or daughter
needing help, stop and help them. That's payment enough.”

Good Samaritans are wonderful people. I've had a little help from some, myself.
