[00:27.13]路边天使
[00:39.06]In the winter of 1985 my mother and I
[00:42.98]were heading home from work.
[00:45.70]We were running a little late
[00:47.40]and the weather was cold and foggy.
[00:50.64]We knew if we didn't get home soon
[00:53.27]everyone would start worrying.
[00:56.41]I was 16 years old at the time.
[00:58.99]I, being the youngest of 10 children
[01:02.27]had taken a job at the restaurant
[01:04.69]where my mom worked
[01:05.77]to help make a few bucks 1 to get us by.
[01:09.94]Things were very hard at this time
[01:12.60]and Christmas was nearing.
[01:15.07]We were talking about the situation on our way home
[01:18.98]and speaking of how we should all just be grateful
[01:22.81]that we are all very healthy.
[01:25.68]And speaking of the fact
[01:27.61]that there are many other people out there
[01:30.27]who have much less than we did.
[01:33.68]Well the gas tank was nearing empty
[01:36.71]and we still had almost two weeks to go until payday.
[01:41.27]We were on our regular route home
[01:43.64]when rounding one of the sharp curves,
[01:46.81]there in the midst 2 of the fog stood a slender figure
[01:51.41]in a long overcoat.
[01:54.23]This startled 3 us both as we slowed down to a roll.
[01:59.29]This figure was nearly standing 4 in the road.
[02:02.95]My mother pulled to the side of the road to my disapproval 5.
[02:07.16]She rolled her window down to check
[02:09.64]if this person was all right.
[02:12.46]I clenched 6 my fists and started shaking tremendously,
[02:17.09]thinking of what my father had always said.
[02:20.33]"Never pick up a stranger."
[02:22.95]I begged my mom to roll up her window
[02:25.67]and just continue on,
[02:27.83]but she insisted that if this person needed help
[02:31.17]she was going to give it to them.
