My name is Sam. I joined a club called Passing Help last month. Now let me tell you why I joined it.

One evening this May, on my way home my old car broke down(出故障). It was 25 miles from my home. I wanted to get a ride(搭便车), but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.

After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

“When I reached the bus station, I got to know that the bus to your town couldn't come, so I returned here. I just can't leave you here,” she said. “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.”

“It is a long way,” I said.

“Come on, sir,” she said, “let's go.”

On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn't gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't accept. “I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along,” she said.
