Lesson 2

One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on
the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her
car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she
decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her
- generally unheard of in those conflict - filled 1960s. The man took
her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She
seemed to be in a big hurry! She wrote down his address, thanked him and
drove away. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To
his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me
on the highway the other night. The rain Drenched not only my clothes
but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to
make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God
bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely,
Mrs... Nat King Cole
