Just a moment

I was waiting for a car. The driver had lost his way in our city. A large transport, which had taken a lot of preparation, was about to take place. Would everything succeed? I felt a certain tension. I walked towards the expected vehicle. On the way, I noticed a young man of cultivated appearance. He seemed a little helpless to me. I asked him if I could help him. With a heavy heart he asked for a little money. He was noticeably ashamed. For a moment I forgot all my tension, turned to him and gave him more than he could expect. He looked at me with wide eyes. "That's a lot! What a gift! I couldn't wait for that!" Then he hesitated and said, "Often life gets us into trouble we never imagined!" At that moment the expected vehicle arrived and I signaled it over. The young man still called out briefly, "Thank you! You have helped me a lot. My heart is very moved!"
