A man and his wife were woken up at 3 o'clock in the morning by a loud knocking on their door. They found a drunk stranger outside, asking for help in the pouring rain.

The husband refused to assist, citing the late hour and bad weather. His wife reminded him of a time when they were stranded and received help from strangers.

Feeling ashamed, the man decided to help the stranger. He went out into the rain and found the drunk person near a swing, still in need of a push.

Despite the inconvenient timing, the man offered his assistance, realizing the importance of helping others in need, just as they had been helped in the past.
