OII #12- Traffic Jam

Today, I headed out for a brief outing at Canyon Yerushalayim, otherwise known as Malcha Mall. However, the traffic was brutal outside, and I couldn't figure out why. I asked the driver, who responded that there must have been an accident on the road, because there usually isn't any traffic at that hour of the day.

As we inched forward, I noticed the site of an accident- a stalled car. However, that's when the OII occurred. Before my eyes, a man reached out of the side of the vehicle ahead of me, and handed the guy with the stalled car a 2 liter bottle of water- so he wouldn't get thirsty and tired while he was trying to fix the cause of the problem.

Wow. Who would ever think of doing that anywhere else? Such a small thing- but such a big impact.

I think you mean "Kenyon"; "Canyon" bears a different meaning entirely...

Chanie- I can't really spell it in English. Probably your way is the correct spelling. Maybe it's my accent that makes it sound that way.
