Endless Love

Joe lived in a small town. He has been looking for job for some time. One afternoon, he went out for the job hunt as usual. On his way driving back home, Joe saw an old lady standing helplessly beside her car which had just broken down. Joe stopped his car and said to the old lady, "Madam, it's cold out here. Take your seat in the car and let me fix it for you." After Joe fixed the car, the old lady wanted to give some money to Joe as appreciation, but Joe declined. He said, "If you really want to show appreciation to me, can I ask you that next time you saw others needing help, you lend your hand too." The old lady nodded and happily drove her car away.
Later, the old lady went to a coffee shop. A waitress came up to serve her, and saw her hair was all wet with sweat. The waitress gave her a towel. The old lady noticed that the waitress was very tired from her look, and further noticed that the waitress was pregnant. Despite having to work the whole day for making a living, the waitress still served the old lady eagerly with warm smiles. After the old lady finished with her meal, she paid the bill and, in addition, she took out a $100 from her pocket, put on the tray and gave to the waitress before leaving the coffee shop. On the tray, there was written a small note, "Today I have been helped by a kind gentleman. I wish I can offer in turn some help to you. Please extend this piece of love by lending your hand to others needing help too." The waitress read the note and was deeply moved.
That evening, the waitress went home after work. Her husband was there. She took out the $100, told him what happened and gave it to him. She then sat beside him and gave him a kiss, "Don't worry. Things will soon be alright, Joe."

Joe was the kind man who helped the old lady to fix her car in the afternoon!
