Question

A young man was traveling down a country road, going a bit too fast in his new car. There were many kids playing between the cars parked on the side of the street.

As his car passed, one child suddenly appeared and threw a brick at the car. The man stopped the car and jumped out. He caught the kid and shouted at him, “What are you doing?” He continued shouting, “That’s a new car. It will be expensive to fix the damage you did with that brick. Why did you do it?” “I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to do. It’s my brother,” he said, “He rolled（滾落）off the side of the road and fell out of his wheelchair. I can’t lift him up. He is hurt and he is too heavy for me.”

The young man felt shameful and said nothing. He lifted the kid’s brother back into the wheelchair.

“Thank you, sir.” the child said. The man then watched the little boy push his brother toward their home.

The young man did not repair the dent（凹槽）in his car. He can hear the boy’s hopeless voice whenever he saw it.

Sometimes, when you don’t make the time to listen, life throws a brick at your head.
