He didn't pay, Or did he??
One nasty (rain and wind) night, at our samish valley home, there was a knock on our front door.
Now we had a fairly secluded place with no close neighbors so one of us opened the door and there 
stood a man, wet, and looking exhausted. He said his car was stuck off the side of the road about a half mile 
up the road. Said he needed help shoving it free and that he would pay us to help him. So us three oldest 
boys (in our early teens) but able bodied agreed to help him.Off we went to a short side road that we were familiar with ( used usually as a lovers lane) and yes his car was mired down in the rear in the rain soaked ground. The man (with his girl friend sitting beside him) started the car put in gear and as we three boys pushed from behind the car gained the firm ground and off he sped. We shouted at him driving away but
knew we were not getting paid. The in the light of our flashlight we spotted a very expensive coat, a top notch shovel, and a car jack that he tried to use to free himself. We were compensated for sure. But
we would never have charged him for our help.
