North West IA/western AZ | My wife and IOWA MARKs go to Omaha shopping together about 4 x per year. This morning they left at 7:30 driving west on CR C60 toward Hinton (where they get on 75) about 4 mi from Hinton they pass a stopped car with the driver laying thier head on the wheel. They turn around to check and find a young girl out of gas and crying because her dad won't help (he's taking them to Des Moine to Adventureland at 8:30 with or without her). The girl does have a gas can so they take her to the station in Hinton, buy her some gas and take her back and get her car started. My wife offers her some money, which she tries to refuse saying her dad told her never take money from strangers. My wife said you take it and in about 35 years give to someone in need. She thought about it and said "I'll be 55". My wife nodded and handed her the money. Not sure how it ended, if she made it home in time to go to Adventureland.
by the way, they aren't home yet | |
