Thursday evening, I drove The Pony home after we got part of our side dishes ready for our Easter Dinner on Friday. I stopped by the Gas Station Chicken Store to get my scratchers. As I walked around the corner of the building, I saw a late-20s man talking to an older man at the pumps. They were quite jovial, in good spirits.
Young Man turned and started towards the door at the same time I was getting there. He held the door open for me. I thanked him and hobbled inside. I stepped to the side of the counter, and told Fave,
"Let him go ahead. He was before me, and held the door."
"Thanks. I just want to pay this $10 for gas. I was broken down behind the high school, and that guy came along and stopped to help me!"
"Oh, really? Give him these tickets. Tell him they're on the house, heh, heh!" Fave tore off a bunch of the red tickets that gas customers can use to enter the weekly drawing to win $30 of gas. The number they get depends on how much they spend on gas.
So we all did a good deed that day!
Young Man held the door open for me.
I let Young Man go ahead, because it was the right thing to do.
Old Man had stopped to rescue Young Man on the road.
Fave gave out a bunch of drawing tickets to reward Old Man.
