A woman’s anger over a parking spot being stolen caused an unexpected turn of events. While she had paid for the spot, someone else had already parked there, so she got a ticket.
She chose to leave a note on the stranger’s car because she was mad and broke. In the note, she kind of told them what happened and asked them not to park in her place again. She also said she could have bought them a ticket and towed them, but she didn’t.
The woman was shocked to find a letter under her windscreen wiper the next day. She found an honest apology and $100 in cash inside. Being honest about their mistake, the stranger offered to make things right.
The stranger’s kind act moved the woman, especially since it was a hard time of year. The experience made her believe in people again and reminded her that there are still good people who are ready to make things right when they’ve done something wrong.
Kindness from a stranger not only paid for the woman’s parking ticket, but it also gave her hope and a fresh start in life. It was a strong lesson that what we do can have a big effect on the people around us and that being kind can sometimes make all the difference.
