Stopped By A Brick

A successful young executive was riding his brand new Jaguar down a neighborhood street when he noticed a kid darting out from between parked cars. He slowed down a little bit as he appeared near it, and a brick smashed into his car's door. He slammed on the brakes and drove back to the place where the brick had been thrown.

The furious man jumped out of his car and caught the nearest kid shouting, "What was that all about? What the heck did you do to my car? Why did you do it?" The young boy was a little scared but was very polite and apologetic. "I am sorry, Mister. I didn't know what else to do," he pleaded. "I had to throw the brick because no one else would stop for my call to help." With tears rolling down his cheeks, he pointed towards the parked cars and said, "It's my brother, he rolled off the curb and fell off his wheelchair, and he is badly hurt. I can't lift him."

The sobbing boy asked the man, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He is hurt, and he is too heavy for me."

The young man was moved beyond words and tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Then, he hurriedly lifted the other kid from the spot and put him back in the wheelchair. He also helped the little kid with his bruises and cuts.

When he thought that everything would be ok, he went back to his car. "Thank you, sir, and God bless you," said the grateful kid.
