One day a man saw a lady on the road. Her car broke down and she needed help.

The man stopped his car and said: “I’m here to help you. You can call me Bryan Anderson.” After he fixed the car, the lady wanted to pay him.

But Bryan said no. He said if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help he or she needed.

A few miles down the road the lady went into a small cafe. The waitress came over. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she never let it change her attitude (态度) when she served (服务) her.

The lady finished her meal and paid with a $100 bill. The waitress went to get the change. When she came back, she found the lady had gone and left a note on a piece of paper: “You don’t owe (欠) me anything. Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let the love end with you.”

Under the paper were four more $100 bills.

The waitress was moved. She really needed the money, as the baby would soon arrive. Then she called her husband: “Everything will be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”

“A friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” Sometimes in life, you find a special friend: someone who changes your life just by being part of it; someone who makes you laugh until you can’t stop; someone who convinces( 使相信 ) you that there really is an open door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you are sad, and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirits( 精神 ) and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. If you have a forever friend, it will be easier for you to get through the hard times and the sad times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you, encourages (鼓励) you, holds your hands and tells you that everything is going to be OK. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy because you need not worry. You have a forever friend for life and forever has no end.
