I saw a guy holding a railway spike next to the wheel nuts of his Mini Minor's flat tire as I drove by. My brain clicked on and I realized this fellow was stuck with no tools. I went back. To see his face change from dispare to hope was reward enough for helping. He had borrowed the car and it had no jack or wrench. I got the tire off and his spare was flat. I was carrying a tire pump at the time and got him up and running. He had borrowed the car while visiting from overseas and had just driven to his fathers house to pick up half a dozen bottles of expensive red wine. He left with five. A yummy reward.
