Lessons for Life : 2

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standingon the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashingrainstorm. 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 thoseconflict-filled 60s. The man took her to safety, helped her getassistance and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed t o be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address andthanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. Tohis surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. Aspecial 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 youcame along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedsidejust before he ! passed a way... God bless you for helping me andunselfishly serving others."

"Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole."
