::stuck on the highway::

I love traveling (on my parents expenses) hehee.. But surely when I’ve my own income I’ll travel more. It’s true that you will learn something through every journey. This is what I faced during my previous journey. It certainly was a lesson for me.
I’ll give the situation and you tell me what you'll do.
What will you do if you're stuck on a highway, you are out of petrol, you left your wallet at the previous rest area, your ticket was in your wallet and you have absolutely nothing?
Would you ask strangers for money?
Yes. This family did.
They asked my family..
Did we give them money? Yes. But that was after taking the car registration number, their i.c number, their hand phone number and after a long interrogation with their children to see if their parents were telling the truth.
Was I being cruel of not believing them? I don’t think so. Who wouldn’t be suspicious?. I hope that they arrived safe and sound to their destination. If they call back to send the money, we’ll give it for free. If it’s a fraud (maybe not) am I going to take action? Nope.. I guarantee you won’t see me stopping for a second the next time if anyone hails me.
Each decision brings its own pros and cons. I hope that my good intention will give me something back, if not now, maybe in the future.
