Question

【题目】

A young man was driving down a suburban（郊区的）street, going a bit too fast in his new car. There were many kids playing between the cars parked on the side of the street.

As his car passed, a child suddenly appeared and threw a brick at the car. The man stopped the car and jumped out. He grabbed the kid and shouted at him, "What are you doing?" He was very angry, "That's a new car. It will be expensive to fix the damage you did with that brick. Why did you do it?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do! It's my brother." he said, "he fell out of his wheelchair. I can't lift him up. " The boy asked the man, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me. "

The young man swallowed（吞咽）and said nothing. He lifted the kid's brother back into the wheelchair. Then the little boy pushed his brother towards their home.

The young man did not repair the dent（凹痕）in his car. He kept it to remind（提醒）himself not to, through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick to get his attention.
