| It was a hot Sunday afternoon and the two of us were heading for the capital city. Suddenly my son gave a shout of pain. He had somehow managed to tangle up (围绕) his small body in his seat belt. I immediately pulled off the road. I could have tried to stop a car, but they were driving by so fast. At that moment, I would have cut the belt if I had something to cut it with. Then I thought that I could retract (缩回) little further in order that it might work. But if that failed, my son's little stomach would be squeezed even tighter. Just then a man appeared. He wore a white shirt and trousers that I'd seen on Costa Rican cowboys and his clothes so dirty that I thought he might be a beggar or worse. Yet when the stranger reached us, he asked me if I needed help. I pointed to my son and he took a look. He then bent down beside my son, tracing the path of the smooth seat belt with with his rough fingers. After a long moment, he asked my son to bend sideways and a little bit forward. He then put his hands on the belt, controlled it in a way that I still don't understand now, and my son was free. I thanked him warmly. I also reached into my wallet and gave him a bill, although his calm face suggested that he didn't care about a reward. He had found a new way to use his roping skills, particularly those he used when freeing animals. And I had experienced the kindness. |
