Brian

She considered herself to be pretty self suffiecient, the independent type, and comfortable in her role as a business executive. Fed up with the hurried, hectic lifestlyle of the city she decided to take a day trip to enjoy the peace and quiet of the country life. She hit the pike, got off at Cranberry, dropped down the roof on her Audi, and just enjoyed the thrill of no work, no calls and the cool country air rushing through her hair. Cruising north toward the big falls at Niagara she was going to enjoy her day out of the rat race. 

After enjoying the sites she turned her machine around and was bent on enjoying the often-spoken-of sunset outside the little town of Northeast, which sits on Lake Erie.  That sunset is famous and she was going to take it in.  Cruising down the freeway she realized she had a major headache. The flopping of a flat tire would force her to pull over. 

Head in hands wondering what to do and evening dead on, she looked up to see a late model truck pull over. In a second a young man with heavily-worked, dirty jeans got out of the truck and was heading to her car. In a cheery voice he asked, "Could you use some help?'

After he had changed her tire, the lady asked him what his name was? "Brian", he said, "folks around here just call me Brian." Well Brian, she said,"How much do I owe you?"  "Nothing, Ma'am, just do something nice for someone else when you get a chance." 

It was getting dark, so the gal thanked him and drove off. With a few miles of asphalt behind her, she pulled into a little restaurant to get something to eat.  After being seated a waitress approached her table. It was evident that she was going to be a mother before to long. "When are you due?' she asked. "In about a month," she replied."Is this your first child?'

 "Yes.  I'm working to help my husband pay the doctor bills. He's had a hard time finding good work but we are still so excited." The women paid her check with a hundred dollar bill. When the waitress returned with the change, the lady was gone.  On top of that when she cleaned off her table she found four one-hundred dollar bills under her plate as a tip.

At closing time the waitress headed home, and slowly climbed the stairs to bed.  She saw that her husband was asleep, so she kissed him good night and said, "Somebody did something nice for me today. I'll tell you all about in the morning, Brian"
