I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to 51 the problem. It certainly wasn’t 52 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 53 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 54 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 55 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But 56 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the 57 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had 58 me.
Then, without 59 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 60 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 61 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my 62 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you 63 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he 64 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he 65 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they 66 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 67 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 68 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 69 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 70 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’
