Friendly passerby

I just wanted to share a friendly comment I received the other day as I was walking down the road....

I was on my way down the road to stop by and say hello to my homestay family. Lots of cars were passing by but one of them came to a stop right in front of me. As I walked up to the passenger's window this man shouted out of his vehile asking if I wanted a ride. I explained that I wasn't going much further but thanked him for the offer. He then replied by saying, "alright, well knowing that you are working here and doing good things for my country, I wouldn't pass you straight."

That is probably one of the nicest things a stranger has said to me in a long time! I may never see this guy again, but in that moment, he totally made my day.
