My tire was flat. And I was on a country road. When I with the tire, a car pulled off the road behind me. I saw a male and said, “Hey, do you need any help?”

Then, it began to . It hit like a waterfall and made it to finish the tire change. With the car jacked(千斤顶托起) up, I was to get in my car. “Get in my car” he insisted, “We’ll wait with you until the rain stops.” “No. I don’t need your help.” I said. “Come on. Get in.” he said as he my arm and pulled me toward his car. “Oh, God, protect me!” I to myself.
As I settled into the back seat, suddenly a delicate came from the front seat of the car. “Are you all right?” “Yes, I am,” I replied with much seeing an old woman there. “My name is Beatrice and this is my neighbor John.
