The Good Samaritan

February 25, 2008 | Filed Under General 

I played the role of the Good Samaritan last night.

After a sending L home via the train last night, I got back to Murdoch Station where I parked my car. Upon reaching the station, I saw this Chinese kid who spoke no English and didn’t even know how to use the public telephone. He was stranded in Murdoch Station, so I lent him my phone for him to call his family. The family didn’t know how to get to the station.

I offered to send him home, but he refused. I continued on my way home. A couple of corners from my house, his father called. He told me he doesn’t know how to get to Murdoch Station, so once again, I offered to return to pick his son up. He said okay, so a big U-turn I made and picked him up at the station.

Such a polite kid he was, he thanked me again and again even after I dropped him off at his house in Willeton. Later in the night (around 11pm when I was fast asleep), his father called me, going, “eh! xie xie ni ah” (thank you) repeatedly.

My mummy would be proud of me. lol

ps. I didn’t even know how to get to Willeton until I called a couple of friends. Thanks to you two, I know how to get there.
