(2023·安徽合肥·三模）My dad and I were driving to a store. We needed to buy some things for a big dinner for my dad's company(公司） and a new customer(顾客）. As we drove，we noticed an old man standing at the side of the road. He had a flat tire(爆胎）. Usually，my dad would stop. But this time，he said，“We are too late right now!”
About half an hour later，we were going back home. We saw the old man again. My dad pulled the car over. “Having some trouble，are you?” he asked. “Yes，” said the old man. In no time，we put a new wheel on the old man's car.
Then we drove home. At 6 p.m.，my dad's boss showed up. The boss was very nervous because he had only met the customer once. Then someone came. It was the old man! My father could not believe his eyes. He shook my father's hand and said，“As far as I know，the deal is done! Because I have known you're a man with a sense of responsibility(责任感）. You have taught your son well.”
Then I understood that helping others is sometimes helping ourselves.
