I was driving home on a very hot afternoon and about to near a crossing(十字路口). One of the major traffic light had gone out , and a police officer was standing in the middle of around twenty lanes of very busy traffic . The fact was that he had no hat or shade(遮棚)to shield(保护)him from the burning sun but , he was upbeat and doing a fabulous(出色的)job .
I saw a drugstore on the comer , and while I was there , I wanted so badly to get some water for the officer ! I had some hesitation(犹豫), though , as it was a little out of my comfort zone(安全区)to communicate with a stranger in this way .
I discussed , struggled , left , drove part-way home , turned around , went back to the drugstore , got water , and then found myself thinking about how to hand it to him in the busy crossing . I knew that he might not be able to take it – he wouldn’t have hands to hold it since he was busy making motions(动作)to direct(指挥)the traffic – but I had to try .
I drove into the crossing , rolled down my windows as I passed the officer , and gave him the bottle of water . Though he wasn’t able to take the bottle , he broke into a smile and said , “ Thank you . ”
I drove home , feeling better for having persisted(坚持). And I was even inspired to call the station that afternoon to make sure they knew what a great job he did that day . It felt good to spread(传播)the positivity(正能量), and it was the least I could do .
